97 STAT. 34 PUBLIC LAW 98-8—MAR. 24, 1983 ADMINISTRATION FOR NATIVE AMERICANS SEC. 108. During fiscal year 1988, general administration of pro- 42 USC 2991. grams authorized under the Native American Programs Act shall remain in the Department of Health and Human Services and shall not be transferred to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall continue to administer the financial assistance grants funded under that Act through the Administration for Native Americans: Provided, That this provision shall not prohibit interagency funding agreements between the Administration for Native Americans and other agencies of the Federal Government for the development and implementation of specific grants or projects. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE 15 USC 313 note. SEC. 104. Since the Administration has proposed to sell the weather (METSAT) and land (LANDSAT) satellite systems; Since there are concerns about possible commercialization of the National Weather Service; Since our country should provide weather service information for the protection of life and property; Since our Nation's economy—its agriculture, aviation, ocean ship- ping and construction—is heavily affected by weather and our ability to forecast and disseminate vital information about its behav- ior: Now, therefore. It is the sense of the Congress that a reliable and compehensive national weather information system responsive to the needs of national security; agriculture, transportation and other affected sectors; and individual citizens must be maintained through a strong central National Weather Service that can work closely with the private sector, other Federal and State government agencies, and the weather services of other nations. Further, the Nation's civil operational remote sensing satellites (METSAT and LANDSAT) shall remain under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. No effort shall be made to dis- mantle, transfer, lease or sell any portion of these systems without prior congressional approval.
