Pub. L. 100-147, tit. III, sec. 302

Sec. 302. The Congress finds and declares that— (1) the implementation of the Land Remote-Sensing Commercialization Act of 1984 (15 U.S.C. 4201 et seq.) has begun and some of the major milestones contained in that Act have been met; (2) Congress remains strongly committed to the guiding principles set forth in that Act; (3) notwithstanding the accomplishments thus far, the relationships among the involved Federal agencies and the private sector have not yet been adequately defined; and (4) in as much as the technical development and commercial applications of future land remote-sensing systems cannot now be predicted with certainty, it is in the national interest of the United States that the involved Federal agencies and the private sector remain flexible in carrying out their respective responsibilities under that Act.
