A more detailed explanation of these estimates is given in Part Two, 

 Tables A-1, 2, and 3, where they have been classified by purpose and 

 function. 



These activities have been summarized by the participating agen- 

 cies in terms of recognized national economic, political, or social pur- 

 poses as follows :

For purposes of comparison of new and old definitions of scope, the 

 "National Oceanographic Program" component is estimated at ap- 

 proximately $208 and $229 million for fiscal years 1966 and 1967 re- 

 spectively, and proposals for fiscal year 1968 amount to approximately 

 $278 million. Details are set forth in Table V. 



The distribution of Federal marine science and technology* 

 funding in terms of the percentage planned in fiscal year 1968 for 

 each major purpose is shown in Figure 1. 



This distribution of funding is also represented by the functional 

 relationships shown in Figure 2. The total activity may be considered 

 in three stages. The first two stages constitute a general purpose 

 base of academic research, manpower training and education, general 

 purpose ships, environmental data acquisition, facilities, and instru- 

 ments which provide a reservoir of information and techniques. 

 The third stage, which is functionally dependent on the first two, 

 includes applied research, mission-oriented development, and other 

 marine technology programs to provide for public needs such as na- 

 tional defense and resource exploitation. In this third stage, each 

 activity directed to a specific goal is represented by a separate bar in 

 Figure 2.
