This first series of hearings on Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas development (particularly along the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf of Alaska) and coastal management began the Committee's study to analyze National ocean policy and Federal ocean programs. Testimony was heard from representatives of the Council on Environmental Quality, who spoke on their recent study on the environmental impact of energy development on the OCS; university professors, who presented their research on the economic and environmental effects of OCS development and on OCS technology; environmental groups, who testified concerning environmental degradation resulting from mismanagement of OCS development; Senators and Congressmen; industrial leaders; and representatives of the American Petroleum Institute and the Western Oil and Gas Association, who stated that with safeguards, extraction of energy resources from oceans will not cause environmental problems.
