T57.29 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

A further message in writing from

the President of the United States was

communicated to the House by Mr.

Edwin Thomas, one of his secretaries.

T57.30 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT—

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr.

RADANOVICH, laid before the House a

message from the President, which was

read as follows:

To the Congress of the United States:

The United States has always been

blessed with an abundance of natural

resources. Together with the ingenuity

and determination of the American

people, these resources have formed the

basis of our prosperity. They have

given us the opportunity to feed our

people, power and industry, create our

medicines, and defend our borders—and

we have a responsibility to be good

stewards of our heritage. In recent decades, however, rapid technological advances and population growth have

greatly enhanced our ability to have an

impact on our surroundings—and we do

not always pause to contemplate the

consequences of our actions. Far too

often, our short-sighted decisions cause

the greatest harm to the very people

who are least able to influence them—

future generations.

We have a moral obligation to represent the interests of those who have

no voice in today’s decisions—our children and grandchildren. We have a responsibility to see that they inherit a

productive and livable world that allows their families to enjoy the same

or greater opportunities than we ourselves have enjoyed. Those of us who

still believe in the American Dream

will settle for no less. Those who say

that we cannot afford both a strong

economy and a healthy environment

are ignoring the fact that the two are

inextricably linked. Our economy will

not remain strong for long if we continue to consume renewable resources

faster than they can be replenished, or

nonrenewable resources faster than we

can develop substitutes; America’s

fishing and timber-dependent communities will not survive for long if we destroy our fisheries and our forests.

Whether the subject is deficit spending

or the stewardship of our fisheries, the

issue is the same: we should not pursue

a strategy of short-term gain that will

harm future generations.

Senators Henry Jackson and Ed

Muskie, and Congressman John Dingell

understood this back in 1969 when they

joined together to work for passage of

the National Environmental Policy

Act. At its heart, the National Environmental Policy Act is about our rela-
