I'm afraid that this very loyal group <br />might be frightened a little. However, I am not going to summarize all <br />of the laws mentioned. After the confusion YOLl have listened to I am <br />sure you don't want me totry. It is impossible, obviously, totry to <br />summarize and evaluate all of these papers given in two days and try <br />to do it in a few minutes. However, I do th ink there are several important <br />things that should be said by way of emphasis. In the same way as Mr. <br />Bittinger emphasized what has been said, I am sure that there are some <br />other things that should be said by way of dispelling confusion, particularly <br />about the law. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Now, I want to say. Mr. Miller, as a law professor and a person <br />who has been involved in these problems, that I feel that this conference <br />has been most rewarding to me as a person interested in the subject. And <br />I say this for two reasons--one is personal and because I am a teacher. <br />But I would like to say it for the third reason, wh ich I think might express <br />the feelings of others in this room. This represents, in my judgment, a <br />very successful venture in getting persons from different areas of know- <br />ledge to talk to each other somewhat intelligently. I recognize that I may <br />be mistaken about this when we talk about the law, This conference repre- <br />sents a great advance. I think that this conference proves that economists <br />don't all sound like theologians, and that engineers and lawyers, who are <br />more concerned with empirical facts rather than concepts, can communi- <br />cate with each other. It has proved very rewarding for me, and I think <br />some other lawyers in the room, to listen to these gentlemen from the <br />other disciplines. I have two real regrets which I must express. Mr. <br />Miller. I think some of the others here feel these. One is that some of <br />these papers were not heard by the whole conference. Secondly, I am <br />very sorry that I don't see or have not bee n able to find, after diligent <br />search, any representative of the state of Montana here. The state of <br />Montana is planning to have a conference beginning the 13th of September <br />which is dedicated to the same purpose for which this conference was <br />dedicated, I believe. And I am going to take all of the information that I <br />can carry from this conference up there and make it available to the people <br />in Montana who have a great problem and also a great opportunity because <br />theirs is the last state in which there can be a "marriage of the different <br />approaches, " to use Mr. Bittinger's phrase. The scientific information <br />and the technological know -how can be used and the institutionaIlag can be <br /> <br />~, <br /> <br />'J <br />
