Notes and Acknowledgments
The following
History was begun as NOAA's contribution to a Department-wide effort
to produce a Commerce History which would serve as the Department's
contribution to the national celebration of the Bicentennial of the
Constitution. In addition to serving as source material to staff of
the Department's Historical Council, I thought it might be useful
to distribute the NOAA History, in the entirety, within the Agency.
