ATTACHMENT G SUMMARY OF TWO SUBJECTS FOR SPECIAL ENCOURAGEMENT AT CENTER IN OPENING PERIOD Oceans The first relates to the development of international law and cooperation in the uses of the oceans. Given the fact that the oceans cover 70 percent of the earth's surface and contain a large proportion of the planet's mineral and food resources, including four-fifths of all known animal life, the extension of existing laws has become an urgent necessity to avoid conflict and to safeguard marine environments in the face of advancing population and technology. New and growing hazards, exploitation capabilities, military uses, scientific research, depletion of certain fish stocks, supertanker developments, unresolved legal issues and claims, differences between the few States with advanced marine use capabilities and those without such means-all call for sustained study to extend understanding, law, and cooperative practices. Environment The other area designated for special encouragement involves studies 20thcentury man in perspective, including consideration of the philosophical, social, political, and economic implications of various environmental problems. Many research centers are well equipped to study man as a machine, and technical environmental studies are relatively plentiful. The Center intends to focus on studies relating to the kinds of attitudinal and institutional changes that are called for if environmental deterioration is to be halted, and on ways in which such changes as are indicated may be brought about. Particular attention will be given to new forms of international cooperations needed if those problems that transcend boundaries are to be addressed effectively. STAFF PAPERS ON OCEAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES A. OCEAN SPACE STUDIES AT WOODROW WILSON INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARS Studies relating to the development of international law and cooperation in ocean space will be encouraged in the new fellowship and guest scholar programs of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars to open in October of 1970.
