I am honored to meet here today with this distinguished group of scientists, engineers, educators and businessmen. I have looked forward to this conference as an opportunity particularly to discuss the problem of chemicals in our environment, a matter which concerns us all deeply … and to describe some of the steps we are taking in the Department in this regard. I also want to discuss our activities as they apply to the broader context of the responsibilities of science and education today in agriculture.
