The government, the NAS committee concluded, has an "obligation to make its information as widely available as possible to those who paid for it‹the taxpayers. Although some in the private sector would prefer that the NWS not issue forecasts, . . . scientific, legal, and economic arguments overwhelmingly support the continued dissemination of NWS forecasts and other weather products."
