Elmer, D B

Two major topics, legal scholarship and legal support, are covered. Scholarship is distinguished from support by concentration on abstract analyses of issues, which include resource definition, ownership, taxation, and multistate reservoirs. Support is based entirely on those legal tasks called up by the technical work scheduled in the areas of resource assessment, advanced research and technology, institutional and environmental and resource utilization. The definitions contained in the statutes of the thirteen western states, Texas, and Louisiana are presented. (MHR)
