What is missing from all of this discussion is the fact that all of us, every American, is interested in environmental quality. We do not want anything but clean air and clean water and a good area in which to live. But we are in a state of almost-crisis now where we have to talk about survival and meeting the needs of the American family. I am talking about the basic needs of the American family. That is why we have to put the environmental concerns on an equal balance, not on a priority, and try to develop our resources as we need them.
