... All of these needs require adequate financial support over long periods of time. Seismographic networks provide data essential to programs such as the mitigation of earthquake hazards, the definition of geological structure on the margins and within tectonic plates, the safe siting of dams, power plants, and other critical facilities, and the investigation of dynamic processes of the earth.

... that stable funding for global networks be sought from normal budgetary requests from within the U.S. Geological Survey, from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and from other agencies that use data from the networks; (3)

... It is recommended that a Working Group on Seismic Networks be set up under the Committee on Seismology to provide continuity and uniformity in consideration of the various policy matters arising in network seismology. This group will provide the review functions recommended throughout this report for global, regional, and national networks.
