Excerpt from U. S. Environmental Technology in the Global Marketplace: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Foreign Commerce and Tourism of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate One Hundred Third Congress First Session, June 24, 1993 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:10 a.m., in room SR-253 of the Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. John F. Kerry (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: Troy H. Cribb, professional staff member, and Ivan A. Schlager, staff counsel; and Kevin M. Dempsey, minority staff counsel. Opening Statement of Senator Kerry Senator Kerry. The hearing will come to order. My apologies to folks for our delay. We are going to have a bunch of votes this morning. We just did two, back to back, when we were supposed to originally have had one. But we may have to cope with a few interruptions as we go through the course of the hearing because of the voting schedule. This morning, we are going to explore in the course of this hearing the importance of a growing new industry, the environmental, or what we call the "envirotech industry," and explore ways in which the Government can really work to encourage the exports of environmental technology, both goods and services. I think that the whole country is becoming more sensitized to the impact of defense cutbacks and also to the prolonged recession - or slow recovery, depending on which argument you want to make - and as a result of that, I think there is an opportunity that has been agreed upon for a great deal of a shifting of emphasis of R&D efforts, product development, and so forth, toward new areas. There is also, obviously, no single answer to that problem. I do not think we gather here with the notion that environmental technology is the be-all and end-all that will totally supplant other industries and have the same economic force. But it seems to me that as one analyzes the possibilities of all the areas, at least in the near term - whether we are looking at in terms of the new technologies, advanced materials, artificial intelligence, robotics, microelectronics, and so forth - environmental technology, which can encompass portions of each of the aforementioned, has an extraordinary capacity to provide this country with an economic lift.
