U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 582a. Congressional findings
It is recognized that research in forestry is the driving force
behind progress in developing and utilizing the resources of the
Nation's forest and related rangelands. The production, protection,
and utilization of the forest resources depend on strong
technological advances and continuing development of the knowledge
necessary to increase the efficiency of forestry practices and to
extend the benefits that flow from forest and related rangelands.
It is recognized that the total forestry research efforts of the
several State colleges and universities and of the Federal
Government are more fully effective if there is close coordination
between such programs, and it is further recognized that forestry
schools are especially vital in the training of research workers in
forestry. It is also recognized that the provisions of this
subchapter are essential to assist in providing the research
background that undergirds the Forest and Rangeland Renewable
Resources Planning Act of 1974 [16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.], the
Renewable Resources Extension Act of 1978 [16 U.S.C. 1671 et seq.],
and the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977 [16
U.S.C. 2001 et seq.].
