involving U.S. research ships, aircraft, spacecraft, and buoys 70 miles east 

 of Barbados in 1969. 



Among other 1968 highlights of our international cooperative endeavors 

 were : 



— Following Council review of the opportunities for foreign j:)articipa- 

 tion in the Navy's SEALAB III experiments, aquanauts from Eng- 

 land, Canada, and Australia were invited to participate in the 

 experiments and observers from 50 countries were invited to visit 

 the SEALAB III site. 



— The Navy has made available to foreign countries the technical 

 specifications to permit modification of foreign submarines to mate 

 \vith the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle described in Chapter V. 



— Preparations were made for participation in the trade exhibit, 

 Oceanology International '69, in Brighton, England, and for possible 

 inclusion of an oceanographic exhibit in the U.S. pavilion at the 

 Osaka World's Fair in 1970. 



— Concurrently with efforts to stimulate foreign markets for 

 U.S. oceanographic products, a review is being undertaken of regu- 

 lations governing the export of American equipment. 



— U.S. aircraft with remote sensing capability delineated the chang- 

 ing temperature pattern of the ocean surface layer which determines 

 the location of herring resources vital to the Icelandic economy
