Nixon Proposes EPA and NOAA to Oversee Ocean Pollution
President Nixon unveiled plans to create the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to consolidate pollution controls and coordinate oceanic research. The EPA would unify federal pollution programs with a $1.4 billion budget and 5,650 staff, consolidating duties from Interior HEW and other agencies. The reorganization targets tighter pollution control and integrated climate-ocean studies, to take effect within 60 days unless Congress acts.
