Learning To Look Ahead:

The Need For A National

Materials Policy And Planning Process



The United States needs an institutionalized
Planning and policy process to help assure
he future availability of materials needed
by American industry. Such a process can
help the Nation prevent shocks or offset
their severity to its economy from    rapid
changes in the price and supply of natural
resources. Growing global competition for
raw materials dictates that the formulation
of this process receive immediate attention
at the highest levels of Government.
In the future, the United States must strike
a better balance between its materials prob-
lems and its pursuit of other important
national goals, such as those for energy and
the environment.
Only by concerted public-private effort can
the Nation build contingency plans to deal
with  future disruptions  trom   materials
shortages, and surpluses.
