The GWMP encompasses some 7,428 acres in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. For reasons that will later be explained, a small part of this acreage is not administered by its superintendent, and a greater amount of land formerly within GWMP now lies within another national park unit. Some of the GWMP acreage the superintendent administers is commonly known by other names, like Great Falls Park in Virginia and Glen Echo Park in Maryland. While most national park units may be characterized as predominantly natural, historical, or recreational, GWMP comprises such a diverse array of natural, historic, and recreational resources that it defies any such categorization. Further complicating matters, GWMP's superintendent also administers four other areas classed as discrete national park units-Arlington House, The Robert E.

Section I.-Statements by the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board, TAAC Chairman, and the Director of OTA Chairman's Statement- Senator Ted Stevens The passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1985 has intensified the pressure for Congress to carefully review all authorizations and ap- propriations to ensure that programs are necessary and represent a good investment of Federal dollars. It is particularly important that Con- gress have prompt access to unbiased and clear information about the longer term consequences of scientific and technological issues, lest these considerations get lost in the drive to cut budgets. The assess- ment reports, technical memoranda, and other information that OTA provided to committees included valuable information and analyses that Congress needs to meet its responsibilities in matters involving science and technology. Committees of both the House of Representatives and the Senate take advantage of the resources offered by OTA. Last year, OTA reports cov- ered topics ranging from toxic wastes and groundwater contamination to the changing structure of American agriculture to U.S. vulnerabil- ity to loss of imported strategic materials, In addition to formal assessment reports, OTA provided Congress with less formal but timely information on smoking-related deaths and their financial costs, and a review of the Public Health Service’s re- sponse to the problem posed by AIDS.
