Historical Note
With an increasing emphasis within the American economy on the marketing of goods and services in the post-World War II era, the NAM created the Marketing Committee. Members of the Committee were to consider broad national opportunities and problems, promote sound policies and programs, and study government regulation relating to the role of production, product management, and distribution in marketing as a function of the national economy. Additionally, the Committee focused on marketing values, compulsory standardization of packaging, pricing, the Federal Trade Commission, trade regulation reform, favorable business climate, and a national transportation system.
Scope and Contents
The Industrial Environment Department focused on environmental-related issues, along with housing the Marketing Committee. The material in this series includes papers from NAM committees whose scope fell within the department’s responsibilities including Area Industrial Problems Committee, Energy Policy Study Group, Natural Resources Committee, and Water and Soil Resources Subcommittee. Additionally, materials related to land and water conservation, ocean resources, and surface mining are included in this series. This series should be considered alongside the Environmental Quality and Conservation Department, as the two departments worked on similar topics around the same time.
