EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COMMITTEE ON OCEANOGRAPHY 13 



contains a specific definition of our objectives, fine. If not, we should 

 have a specific set of goals. 



Mr. Wakelin. Yes. Actually, in the development of the TENOC 

 plan, there are objectives laid out in the Navy's context. 



Mr. Morse. For the Navy. 



Mr. Wakelin. That is right. Obviously, we could not develop a 

 detailed plan without having a set of broad objectives, and we hope 

 to get these from each of the other agencies and departments this 

 spring. But let me say this: that each of the panels of the ICO which 

 integrate across the departmental interests have a set of objectives 

 to which they have geared their plans for this budget preparation, that 

 is, for fiscal 1963. 



These can be broadened, I think, when we get the long-range plans 

 from the other departments, into a set of national goals. We hope the 

 planning of the ICO will then form a coherent national program. 



Mr. Morse. Well, I would think that until such time as you have 

 decided upon the national goals that it would be abortive to develop 

 plans and programs by these several participating agencies. 



Mr. Wakelin. Each of the agencies has its own long-range goals. 



Mr. Morse. Which may or may not be consistent with the national 

 goals. 



Mr. Wakelin. That is correct, and that is why we want to review 

 all the agencies' goals over the next 10 years, and develop a set of 

 national goals for the next 10 years. 



Mr. Morse. For the achievement of the national goals. 



Mr. Wakelin. Yes, sir. 



Mr. Morse. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 



Mr. Bauer. Well, in other words, Mr. Secretary, you don't have in 

 existence now a written statement of the national program for our 

 overall national effort. Is that right? 



Mr. Wakelin. We have for 1961, 1962, and for next year's budget 

 as an annual program. We have not developed a complete 10-year 

 program on a national basis, Mr. Bauer. 



Mr. Bauer. And no long-range plans? 



Mr. Wakelin. These would be our long-range plans. 



Mr. Bauer. Mr. Chairman, at this time I would like to introduce 

 into the record a translation from the French of the resolutions of 

 the Conference of the International Council for the Exploration of 

 the Sea, adopted as a long-range plan in 1899, under a conference 

 held by King Oscar of Sweden. I obtained this from Copenhagen. 

 I believe I sent Secretary Wakelin a copy of this, and I was wondering 

 if you happened to see it? 



Mr. Wakelin. I have, sir, and I have read it. 



Mr. Dingell. Without objection, so ordered.
