Nixon Plans Two New Agencies For Environmental Policy
The White House proposes creating two new federal agencies to oversee environmental protection and planning. One agency under the presidency would enforce protection of the environment, while the Commerce Department would run environmental planning and management programs. The plan shifts air and water pollution duties from HEW and Interior, with Radiation safety moved from the AEC. A second agency would form the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration within Commerce, absorbing ocean resources, Great Lakes work, and related oceanographic duties.
