FOREWORD The editors undertook to prepare this volume in thebelief that thc extensive reservoir of government documents in this country could provide a valuable learning resource.Unfortunately, such documents, in their original forms, are quite unmanageable for normal classroom and study group use.They are exceedingly voluminous and lack detailed reading aids such as indices and content summaries. Theeditors have attempted to develop an example of howsuch documentsin this case, the record of the hearings beforethe House Subcommittee on Education on the Environ- mental Education Act of 1970might be made moreusable. They have pared the original 856-page document to a more readable length while taking care toretain its essential ideas and flavor. Through summariesin the general and chapter introductions, and by indexing the content of thevolume, they have sought to give the reader additional help in using the record of the hearings. Many people were involved in the preparation ofthis publication. Celeste P. Wood ley, -NicholasHelburn, Mary Frances Haley, Dennis Ekhart, Joyce Hodges, andJames O. Hodges read and corrimented on portions ofthe manuscript. W. Williams Stevens, Jr., and James E. Davis gavemuch needed encouragement and support. Congressman JohnBrade- mas and his staff prepared thepreface and came to the rescue several times in answeringquestions. Gabrielle Cooke rendered invaluable assistance in proofreading,layout, and design. Nancy Vickery and Ellen Schultheisbattled with scissors, paste, and typewriter ribbon in preparingthe manuscript for the printer. The cover was designedby John Har- ris. Gary Peschel, of Pruett Press, gave muchneeded advice on production matters. Irving Morrissett Karen B. Wiley Boulder, Colorado 1971 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS David Sive's article, "The Law and the Land," appearedoriginally in the Journal (vol. 8, no. 4, January-February 1970, pp. 32-37), published by theDivision of Higher Education, United Church Board forHomeland Ministries. It is re- printed in this volume with the permission of the publisher. PREFACE people, of the dangers to our environment, goesfar beyond protests The awakening concern, especially among young environmental crisis in against the pollution of land, air, and water. Ibelieve that the rapidly rising awareness of the America today reflects a deepening sensitivity to thefundamental values of human life. Indeed, it seems to me not too much to say thatif we do not allow the current intensepreoccupation with the issues of ecology to fizzle out and wither away, the new awarenessof the deteriorating environment andof its implications for the future of human life can have a profoundlyregenerative effect on every aspect of our society. There have been many descriptions of the ways in which wehave befouled the environment ofwhich we are a part. Yet few persons have so eloquently summed upthe situation than did the distinguished contemporaryAmerican paint- er, Robert Motherwell, whenhe testified before my congressional subcommitteeduring the hearings which are the subject of this book. Here is what Motherwell said: I suppose America began as a few people on a vasttract of land, so vast that onecould be as greedy and wasteful as one wanted, and there was still more.That time is gone. Now there are millionsof people and millions more in the offing, and the vast land is a parkfilled with wasterusting cars, bottles,garbage, enor- mous signs seducing you to buy what youdon't want or need, housing projects thatdon't show a rudimen- tary sense of proportion in any shape orline or materialsuburbs that are a parody of thebarrenness of the Bronx and the gaudiness of Las Vegas. Indeed, if God had said to a group of men, -Here is a vastpark of millions of square miles.Let's see how quickly you can cover it with everything that is an affront tothe human spirit, and above all becertain that it is done on a scale of such extravagance and waste andlack of regard for the sensibilities of theinhabitants of the other parks in the world," then we might bydefinition call that group of men that God soaddressed A rnericans. No wonder our youth are up in arms! In recent years the Congress of the United Statesand successive presidents have moved torespond to this frontal assault on what Kenneth Boulding has called"spaceship earth." Senators Edmund S. Muskieof Maine and Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin and many others in Congress havehelped write a whole series of measuresaimed at enhancing our capacity to protect the environmentand prevent its pollution. Yet I believeand I do not think thatchampions of clean air, land, and water woulddisagreethat if we are to be able to make substantial progressin meeting our ecological crisis, we are going toneed a citizenry informed and educated about the whole spectrum of issues that arecalled environmental; and we are going torequire as well changes in basic attitudes toward the environment andman's place in it. several colleagues and I in the House of Representativesintroduced the Environ- That is why on February 17, 1970, ecology, mental Education

    THE W/LD CASCADES August - September 1968 2 THE WILD CASCADES N3C PRESIDENT AT SIGNING CEREMONY by Patrick D. Goldsworthy History was in the making and I was both honored and thrilled to be there as the President of the North Cascades Conservation Council. There was a hush in the large room as the Presi­ dent of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson, took pen in hand and signed the North Cascades National Park bill. Also silently watching as this and three other conservation bills became law were equally concerned citizens, Senators, Congressmen, agency officials and staff members. Many of us had responded to the telegram: THE WHITEHOUSE WASHINGTON DC YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND THE SIGNING OF BILLS S. 119- NATIONAL WILD RIVERS SYSTEM, S. 827- NATIONAL SYSTEMS OF TRAILS, S. 1321- NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK, AND S. 2515- REDWOODS NATIONAL PARK.
