Marine Science Affairs 



graphic ship operating schedules, university curricula in oceanography, 

 potential of spacecraft oceanography, and marine science activities of some 

 100 countries. In addition, a number of contract studies have been under- 

 taken to develop information and analytical tools for policy planning of 

 programs that cross agency lines (Table XV-3) .

Thus a key role of the Council has been to inform interests other than 

 those in the Executive Branch about marine science affairs. One major 

 element of this information function concerns testimony before the Con- 

 gress. Apart from individual consultations, since August 1966 the Council's 

 Executive Secretary has been requested to testify, as summarized in Table 

 XV-^, to: 



— interpret and support the President's government-wide program; 

 — support budgets of the Council; 



— support individual agency appropriations that have government- 

 wide benefits; and 

 — explain the Administration's position on such matters as the Inter- 

 national Decade of Ocean Exploration.
