Dear Mr. Schmitz: 



On behalf of the Subcommittee on Oceanography, Gulf of Mexico, 

 and the Outer Continental Shelf, I would like to thank you for 

 testifying at the August 4, 1993, hearing on the dual use of 

 technology and resources for civilian and defense oceanography. Your 

 insight on this matter was greatly appreciated. 



As I stated at the hearing, further questions would be submitted 

 to you for written response to be included into the record. Enclosed 

 is a list of questions that the Subcommittee Members and I have 

 requested a response to by September 13, 1993. During the coming 

 months, the Subcommittee will be conducting extensive discussions on 

 the issue of dual use oceanography resources and technology. A timely 

 response is needed for your observations to be considered as part of 

 this process. 



Again, thank you for your participation. If you have any 

 questions, please feel free to contact Mr. John Aguirre, at 

 (202) 226-2460. 



With kindest regards.
