<br />reconunendations, we would be providing the States., the
<br />local governments, and the general public with a means
<br />to participate directly in the planning and utilization
<br />of their resources; Not only would this be consistent
<br />with the objectives and programs of the proposed Depart-
<br />ment of Natural Resources, but it would also be in keeping
<br />with the Administration's policy of encouraging our citizens
<br />at the local level to share in the decision-making process."
<br />
<br />Executive Order 11613, signed by President Nixon
<br />August 2, 1971, established the Environmental Protection
<br />Agency as a member of each River Basin Conunission as
<br />established under the Water Resources Act, P.L.-89-80.
<br />
<br />The series of field meetings, held in seven different
<br />areas of the country in the month of July, have been
<br />successful. An average meeting attendance of 50 to 80
<br />professional federal, state, university, and industry
<br />personnel indicates a good field interest in the proposed
<br />report, "Economic Activity in the United States by Water
<br />Resources Region and Subarea, Historic and Projected,
<br />1929-2020". The report is being prepared by the Office
<br />of Business Economics of the Department of Conunerce and
<br />the Economic Research Service of the Department of Agri-
<br />culture. The purpose of the meetings was to assist in
<br />explaining the concepts and procedures used in preparing
<br />the report and to receive the views and conunents of the
<br />field personnel. Revisions will now be made to incorporate
<br />the new information received with a view toward publishing
<br />the final report early in 1972.
<br />
<br />The Council of Representatives in their July 14 meeting
<br />directed the Council to contact the Governors of Iowa,
<br />Kansas, Minnesota, and Wyoming, requesting their views
<br />concerning the establishment of a Missouri River Basin
<br />Commission. Six out of the ten states in the Missouri
<br />River Basin, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, Montana,
<br />South Dakota, and North Dakota, have requested the estab-
<br />lishment of a river baBin commission.
<br />
<br />A position opening on the WRC staff, as a Senior Staff
<br />Specialist, GS-15, working on the forthcoming WRC National
<br />Water Assessment and other projects was announced by
<br />Director Maughan at the July meeting of the Council of
<br />Representatives. A broad training in economics, engineer-
<br />ing, geography, or related fields, together with a working
<br />knowledge of water and land data and Federal and State
<br />programs for management of water and related land resources
<br />is needed.
