<br />I recommend that you approve this report. When you have done so, <br />we will make certain that the Department's efforts in Atmospheric <br />Water Resources Research are consistent with the guidelines it con- <br />tains.

Comprehensive legislative proposals were offered <br />in the session just concluded by Senators Warren Magnuson, Clinton <br />Anderson and others. Senator George McGovern has requested for <br />himself and Senator Anderson that the Department provide them with <br />a plan for a nationwide weather modification program. I would recom- <br />mend therefore that a copy of this report be transmitted to these two <br />distinguished members of the Senate in response to that request. <br /> <br />Finally, I want to acknowledge the guidance I received in preparing <br />this report from the Assistant Secretaries of this Department, as <br />well as the Solicitor and the Science Advisor. <br /> <br />Without the Commissioner of Reclamation and his sta;ff, in particular <br />Dr. Archie Kahan, it would not have been possible to produce this <br />document. Special credit for valuable inputs must also go to Dr. <br />T. B. Smith of Meteorology Research, Inc., Mr. David Zopf of <br />E. Bollay Associates, Inc., Dr. W; E. Howell of W. E. Howell <br />Associates, Inc., and Dr. Vincent J. Schaefer of the State University <br />of New York. This office, however, is especially appreciative of <br />the thoughtful analysis and invaluable assistance we received from <br />our consultants: Dr. Julian H. Bigelow, Institute of Advanced Studies,. <br />Princeton, New Jersey; Dr. John C. Calhoun, Jr.. Vice Chancellor <br />for Program" Texas A & M University, College Station. Texas; Dr. <br />Earl G. Droessler, Vice President for Research. New York State <br />University. Albany, New York; and Dr. Cha;rles L.
