President's Commission For A National Agenda For The Eighties - Report Of The Panel On Energy, Natural Resources And The Environment U.S. Government Printing Office 1980
Title: Report Of The Panel On Energy, Natural Resources And The Environment U.S. Government Printing Office 1980
Author: President's Commission For A National Agenda For The Eighties
Format: Softcover
Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office 1980
Size: 6 X 9 * 57 pages
Synopsis: Foreword: As America enters the eighties, our nation faces a world greatly changed from that of even a decade ago. Vast forces are in action at home and abroad that promise to change the lives of all Americans. Some of these forces- such as revolutionary developments in science and technology-hold out hope for longer life, labor-saving mechanisms, exploration of the universe, and other benefits for all peoples. Other forces-such as the growing demand for strategic raw materials under the control of supplier cartels-raise serious problems for all nations. At home, we face serious and unresolved issues in the social and economic structure of American society.
On October 24, 1979, President Jimmy Carter established the President's Commission for a National Agenda for the Eighties. His purpose was to provide the President-elect and the new Congress with the views of 45 Americans drawn from diverse backgrounds outside of government. The group is bipartisan, representing business and labor, science and the humanities, arts and communication. Members of the Commission are experts in many fields, but possess no special expertise in predicting the future. Rather, we have done our best to uncover the dynamics of American society and world affairs that we believe will determine events in the eighties. This report of the Commission, A National Agenda for the Eighties, sets forth our views.
The analytical work of the Commission was accomplished by 9 Panels, each consisting of 5 to 11 Commissioners with appropriate staff. The Panels probed into major subject areas designated by the President in the Executive Order that created the Commission, as well as other areas that the Commission itself determined should be on the agenda. This approach gave Panel members an opportunity to gain considerable familiarity with complex subject matters, and provided the full Commission with a wide range of information not otherwise attainable in the 13 months available for this study.
The Panels are responsible for their own reports, and the views contained in any Panel report do not necessarily reflect the views of any branch of government or of the Commission as a whole.
