WEATHER MODIFICATION: PROGRAMS, PROBLEMS, POLICY, AND POTENTIAL
U.S. Senate, Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation,
November 15, 1978. To the members of the Committee on Commerce. Science, and
Transportation, U.S. Senate:
I am pleased to transmit herewith for your information and use the following report on “Weather Modification: Programs, Problems, Policy, and Potential.”
The report was prepared at my request by the Congressional Research Service under the direction of Dr. Robert Morrison, Specialist in Earth Sciences, Science Policy Research Division. We thank Dr. Morrison and the others involved in the study for their extremely thorough and scholarly report. Substantial material on almost all areas of weather modification are included and the report will provide the committee with an excellent reference source for future deliberations on the subject.
The completion of the report is particularly timely due to the upcoming recommendations expected from the Weather Modification Advisory Board and the Department of Commerce (as directed by Public Law 94-490) on the future Federal role in weather modification.
James B. Pearson, Ranking minority member.
