ENROLLMENT OF CERTAIN NATI
UNDER THE ALASKA NAT
CLAIMS SETTLEMENT ACT
AMENDMENT
AMENDMENT NO. 1535
(Ordered to be printed, and referred
to the Committee on Interior and In-
sular Affairs.)
Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, the
Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act,
Public Law 92-203, directed the Secretary
of the Interior to make a study of all
Federal programs primarily designed to
benefit Native people and to report back
to the Congress with his recommenda-
tion for the future Management and
operation of these programs within 3
years of the date of enactment of the
law. The 3-year deadline will expire on
December 18 of this Year.
In the fall of 1973, a steering group
was appointed to direct the 2(c) Study
under the chairmanship of Tom Whit-
tington who was an attorney with the
Department of the Interior in Washing-
ton. The steering group was composed
of members from the Northwest Federal
-Regional Council, the State of Alaska,
and members of the Alaskan Native com-
munity. In a September 14, 1973 letter
to Bernard Kelly, chairman of the
Northwest Federal Regional Counci
Secretary of the Interior Morton sta
that:
This Steering Group would . . . op
the study plan, and the respective gn-
ments and procedures by which plan
would be completed. Further, it d be
the coordinating group for the d opment
of policy alternatives to be s tted to
Washington.
The Secretary went on t iterate his:
Two' most basic concerns he implemen-
tation of the study: first, it be objective
and that efforts be made analyze problems
from a comprehensive, -range viewpoint;
second, that Natives volved in the study
as much as possible
In April of t year, Mr. Whittington
was replaced r. Roy Sampsel from
the Interior partment's Portland Of-
fice. On , '7, 1974, the steering group
transmi to Secretary Morton a corn-
prehe e document outlining the work
plan r the study and requesting a 2-
year extension to meet the congressional
and departmental directive for a com-
prehensive study. In view of the impor-
tance of the 2(?study and its potential
impact on Alaskan Natives, I urged the
Department of the Interior to request
an extension of the study deadline.
In mid-June, the Department decided
not to request an extension and let a re-
quest for proptsal to contract out the
study. The study has now become a 5-
month effort directed at a maximum of
20 Federal programs having significant
impact on Alaskan Natives.
Mr. President, the steering group iden-
tified some 480 Federal programs impact-
ing Alaskan Natives. While all 480 may
not have a significant impact on a large
proportion of the Native population,
there are more than 20 programs which
should be scrutinized before the study is
completed.
One most important consideration was
overlooked by both the Congress and the
Department of the Interior when stipu-
ating a completion date for the 2(c)
dy?that is the land itself. While t
etary settlements are sizable un
th t, the greatest, long-term be t
is t 40 million acres which be
trans ed to the regional and lage
corpora ns. This land transf ill not
be compl d until December
It seem -therefore, so at futile
to attempt assess the pact of the
claims act on skan N es or to make
recommendatio for future of Fed-
eral programs pr t e transfer of the
land.
Mr. President, ?gamendment I am
offering today t heNyith the Senator
from Washin (Mr. xsoN) and my
colleague ( ?RAVEL) ?t 3530 would
authorize a direct the Ses tary of the
Interior conduct a co ehensive
study of, I Federal program n,s esigned
to ben Alaskan Native pe.':1 ?not
just 20 programs which will se-
lect by the contractor for the (c)
st The Secretary is further cha d
the responsibility of assessi
nges in Native life style, health status,
ome levels, and a range of other socio-
economic variables which may be al-
tered as a result of the Land Claims Set-
tlement. This study would use the present
2(c) study as a starting point. Under
my amendment the 'final study would be
submitted to Congress along with the
recommendations for the future direc-
tion of Federal programs for Alaskan Na-
tives on June 20, 1977.
The Alaska Native Claims Settlement
Act made history by being the first legis-
lated aboriginal claims settlement in our
Nation's history. I feel that Congress
acquitted itself well in this task. It is
my intention that the will of Congress in
mandating the 2(c) study be fulfilled.
The major point in section 2(c) is that
a study be submitted to Congress by
December 18, 1974. I do not feel that the
3-year time frame provided in the Land
Claims Act is sufficient. But we can use
the 2(c) study as a base?and complete
the task if this amendment is enacted.
The point is that we wish an accurate,
complete evaluation of any changed Fed-

This amendment appropriates $600
million that will help meet the legal
and financial commitment the Congress
made to the Nation's cities in 1966 for
the renribursement of sewage treatment

This amendment appronriates $600
million that was authorized by the Con-
gress and signed into law by the Presi-
dent (Public Law 93-207) on December
28, 19M. The Federal Water Pollution
Control Act Amendments of 1972 (Public
Law 12-500) appropriated $1.9 billion
to cover the full eligible costs for the
cities that went ahead with a promise of
Federal reimbursement from 1966-72 and
Prefinanced the eligible Federal share of
the cost of plant construction, They wen
ahead on the premise that the Feder
share would be paid in full in a tim

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY APPLI-
CATIONS ACT?AMENDMENT
AMENDMENT NO, 1557
(Ordered to be printed, and referred
jointly to the Committees on Aeronauti-
cal and Space Sciences and Commerce.)
Mr. MAGNUSON, Mr. President, today
I am introducing in behalf of myself and
Senators Moss and Theatre, an amend-
ment to S. 2495, the "Technology Re-
sources Survey and Applications Act."
This amendment is the outgrowth of 2
days of join'; hearings held by the Com-
merce and Aeronautical and Space Sci-
ences Committees on S. 2495 this past
March.
This amendment will establish a focus
for science and technology policymaking
in the executive branch. It will provide
an effective mechanism for long-range
planning in science and technology.
Science and technology have a pro-
found impact on modern society. The
need to have a White House level policy-
making office in science and technology
has long been recognized. One of the rea-
sons several previous attempts by a num-
ber of Presidents to develop such a ca-
pacity faile_dnwete the lack of legislative
authority for such a body to coordinate
and evaluate the numerous science and
technology programs of the mission agen-
cies. The situation was further aggra-
vated last year when the science advisory
role was shifted to a part-time responsi-
bility of the Director of the National Sci-
ence Foundation. It is just unrealistic
to expect NSF, itself a mission-oriented
Agency, to oversee the science and tech-
nology Programs of its sister agencies.
The coordination, evaluation, and policy-
making role can only be accomplished by
a high level Council. For 20 years, we
have had a Council on Economic Ad-
visers. Since 1969, we have had a Council
on Environmental Quality. The proposed
Council of Advisers on Science and Tech-
nology is patterned after these two very
sucewssful precedents.
The National Academy of Sciences re-
leased a report yesterday calling for the
establishment of a similar science policy
apparatus.
The Commerce Committee and the
Aeronautical and Space Sciences Com-
mittee will hold joint hearings on this
amendment on July 11. We expect several
former Presidential Science Advisers to
appear. I look forward to their comments
on this proposal.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous con-
sent, that the text of this amendment be
printed in the Recoae.
There being no objection, the amend-
ment was ordered to be printed in the
RECORD, as follows:
Amendment No. 1537
strike out all after the enacting clause
and substitute in lieu thereof the following:
That this Act may be cited as the "Science
and Technology Applications Act of 1974".

(4) a more systematic approach is needed
to identify critical and emerging national
problems and to. analyze, plan, and coordi-
nate Federal science and technology pro-
grams, policies, and activities intended to
contribute to the resolution of such prob-
lems;

Mr. MOSS. Mr. President, we have all
been affected, either directly er indi-
rectly, by the energy crisis. As I have
rioted On previous occasions, this crisis
was precipitated not so much by the
Arab oil embargo as by poor government
planning and organization. We have had
to confront one crisis after another be-
cause we have had no forward-looking,
comprehensivePolicY of relating cur sci-
entific and technological- advances to
ourdomestic problems. Even now as a
good podion Of our energies is directed
toward resolving the fuel dilemma, a
material shortage looms disturbingly on
the hoeizon.
Yet, we have no clearly defined na-
tional science policy dealing with the
Nation's energy and raw niaterial needs
and their relation to our environmental
goals and our objectives for economic
development Because no such eoliey

to provide for more effective utilization
of our scientific -and technological re-
sources to the solution of our critical
domestic problems, Senators Meaeusort,

September 27, Ion.
Since then, many experts from gov-
ernment, industry and the academic

result, the bill has been significantly al-
tered and additional hearings have been
set for July 11 on the amended version of
S. 2495. The bill now provides for a small
Council of Advisers on Science and Tech-
nology in the Executive Office, a Science
Adviser to the President, and an annual
report conceening the relation of scien-
tific resources to critical and emerging
national problems. 3 feel that the bill is

Ise At a time when all Americans are
coming increasingly aware of the im-
rtsaice of our energy resources the fuel
extractive industries- especially the in-
dependent sectors?are being plagued
with materials shortages. As the Nation
stands on the threshhold of a major drive
toward energy self-sufficiency our fuel
producers are unable to acquire the
materiels and equipment required to
achieve this goal. In some instanies, ever.
current production levels are threatened
by shortages. Coal mines have been
forced to close for lack of roof bolts:
and Independent oil drillers have been
unable to obtain sufficient pipe and cas-
ing to drill for new wells.
Mr. President, we are faced with an
urgent situation, and an immediate need
for its rectification. I know that many of
my colleagues are very concerned about
this problem, and I hope that a timely
and satisfactory solution can be found.
