Recognizing the need for a clear government policy and the primary responsibility of DoT in the establishment of pre-operational and operational systems to serve the airlines, the Office of Telecommunications Policy (OTP) on 7 January 1971 issued a Statement of Government Policy on Satellite Telecommunications for International Civil Aviation...

Questions of general policy regarding the management of cooperative enterprises have been carefully considered by the stations during the past year, and considerable progress has been made in the adjustment of administrative difficulties. The close relations which the stations hold with farmers in their respective States, and their intimate acquaintance with the local needs and requirements of agriculture, make it very desirable that in all cooperative work the...
Page 42 - THE SOLAR SYSTEM By collecting further data on these neighboring planets we hope not only to improve our understanding of the origin and evolution of the solar system, but also to improve our ability to predict how Earth might react to changing conditions. For example, the further study of Mars and Venus should increase our understanding of whether a continued dumping of exhaust products and reduction of vegetation could eventually lead to a "runaway greenhouse" on Earth that could endanger all future...
