40 OCEANOGRAPHY 



This must compete with the other sciences that we have and I feel 

 that it has competed quite well in the budget and that Admiral Ben- 

 nett's people have been quite a sparkplug in this whole program. 



For instance, the Office of Naval Research has been very interested 

 in the education and training program. 



There are only 600 professional oceanographers in the countiy at 

 the moment and we know that this is not adequate for what we need- 

 ONE, has taken the lead in getting some naval officers into the field. 

 We have 4 of them at Mr. Felly's university, and we have 76 at the 

 Monterey postgraduate school and some of them are training in 

 oceanography there. 



We have also increased the graduate assistance program. 



Mr. Miller. I do not like to interrupt but do you have a formal 

 course at the postgraduate school ? 



Admiral Hai"\vard. Yes, sir. Under the postgraduate school in 

 meteorology we have a training on oceanogi*aphy. We have an elec- 

 tive course at the Naval Academy. 



These are just general comments. That is not a summary of my 

 statement but I thought it would be better to make some comments 

 on the questions that you asked the Secretary, Mr. Miller. 



Mr. Meller. The reason I asked is that I get down toward Monterey 

 when I am home quite frequently and I would like to drop in there 

 some time. 



Admiral Hayw^ard. We would be delighted to have you there. I 

 am sure that Adm. E. E. Yeomans would be delighted to give you 

 some idea of what the graduate school does, particularly in meteor- 

 ology and oceanography. 



Mr. Miller. You may proceed. Excuse me. I did not mean to 

 interrupt. 



Admiral Hatward. I have nothing further, Mr. Chairman, unless 

 you have questions. 



Mr. Bauer. Admiral, I have just a few things here. 



This TENOC program which is directed from the Chief of Naval 

 Operations to the distribution list of January 1, 1959, on page 31, and 

 this has been used in our preceding hearings, points out the necessity 

 of the Navy surveying certain areas, the Mediterranean, the Sea of 

 Okhotsk, the Fersian Gulf, the Arabian Sea, and the Arctic Ocean. 



Admiral Hayward. Yes, sir. 



Mr. Bauer. I assume there are military reasons why the North 

 Atlantic and Facific should be surveyed also, is that right? 



Admiral Hayward. Yes, sir. These are specific areas on which we 

 need information but the North Atlantic and North Facific are in the 

 same category, really. 



Mr. Bauer. That is what I meant. That being the case, what is the 

 Navy doing in financing, as I understand, the Indian Ocean joint 

 survey. Is that a militarily important area ? 



Admiral Hayward. Yes, sir; it is. 



Mr. Bauer. Who is going to run the survey, the Navy ? 



Admiral Hayward. Well, yes. It would be better if the Secretary 

 answers that because he has been in on it. 



Mr. Wakelin. JNIost of the contracts which concern the oceano- 

 graphic institutions which would be involved in this, Mr. Bauer, are 

 out of the Office of Naval Research. This includes the Scripps Insti- 

 tution at La Jolla, the Woods Hole Institution and the Lamont Lab-
