The two bills S. 2350 and S. 3484 were intended to establish an Office of Earth Resources Survey Systems within NASA and an Earth Resources Observation Administration within the Department of the Interior. Both proposals were designed to move the Earth Resources Technology Satellite system from an experimental to an operational phase. Dr. James C. Fletcher, Administrator of NASA, objected, stating that splitting the Earth Resources Satellite system between two different departments would adversely affect NASA's activities in this area. Good .
