<br />satisfaction in high GNP growth

<br />There are also those who appear
<br />to believe that increasing concern
<br />for the environment would radically
<br />change the relationship between the
<br />public and private sectors of the
<br />economy, There might well be some
<br />change, But there would seem to be
<br />no reason to expect a large expan-
<br />sion of public ownership and con-
<br />trol. Insofar as environmental con-
<br />siderations can be brought to bear
<br />by changes in the price system,
<br />private enterprise would continue to
<br />operate as it does now. No doubt
<br />legislative and administrative con-
<br />trols would frustrate certain courses
<br />of action. And in certain areas, it is
<br />possible that public-private collabo-
<br />ration of the type we are familiar
<br />with in space and defense activities
<br />would emerge, But, by and large, I
<br />see no reason why an economy in
<br />which growth and environmental
<br />protection are effectively reconciled
<br />wonJd generate a relationship be-
<br />tween public and private activities
<br />that would be drastically different
<br />from what we now have.
