APPENDIX 13 Hon. EDMUND S. MUSKIE, NATIONAL SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS, Chairman, Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution, New Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. DEAR SENATOR MUSKIE: With reference to hearings July 9, 1968, on Waste Management Research, the National Society of Professional Engineers encourages increased emphasis on studies and investigations concerning the interrelationships among programs for control of air and water pollution and solid waste management. Comprehensive and systematic approaches are essential to avoid conflicting remedies and to produce effective and economical solutions to control environmental pollution for protection of public health and well-being. We recommend that Federal authorizations also include support of practical demonstration projects which will incorporate engineering, economic, social and political factors normally encountered in translating research into everyday practice. We are pleased to submit for your consideration our statement, "The Engineering Challenge of Pollution Control", which has just been issued and which amplifies our views on these matters. We also respectfully request permission to present our views at future hearings on this subject. Sincerely yours, WESLEY E. GILBERTSON, P.E., Chairman, Committee on Pollution Control. 95-825 O-68-29 (433) |
