EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COMMITTEE ON OCEANOGRAPHY 49 



Mr. Wakelin. Indeed. 



Mr. Bauer. In the study of the oceans, is it not true that solid 

 state physics could conceivably be involved as well as nuclear physics, 

 as well as the other particular scientific disciplines that you have 

 mentioned? 



Mr. Wakelin. Yes. 



Mr. Bauer. And why is there any objection to regarding the oceans 

 as an environment and coordinating the oceans as an environment 

 precisely in the same fashion that outer space has been coordinated 

 by the space council, and the President has indicated that he wants 

 to have the water resources of the United States brought in in similar 

 fashion? 



Mr. Wakelin. With respect to coordination, I have no objection. 



Mr. Bauer. That is all I have, Mr. Chairman. 



Mr. Dingell. Mr. Drewry? 



Mr. Secretary, we want to thank you very much for your kind- 

 ness in coming before the committee. You have been most generous 

 with your time, and most helpful to the committee. 



There were a number of other witnesses who were scheduled today, 

 Dr. Stewart, Commander Alexander, Dr. Dees, Mr. McKernan, 

 Mr. Abel, and Dr. Maxwell. 



Gentlemen, the committee apologizes to you for having detained 

 you this morning. Would it be possible for you to be back, here with 

 us tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock? 



Off the record. 



(Off the record.) 



Mr. Dingell. Mr. Secretary, thank you very much. 



Mr. Wakelin. Thank you, sir. 



Mr. Dingell. The subcommittee stands adjourned until 10 o'clock 

 tomorrow. 



(Whereupon, at 12:25 p.m., the hearing was recessed, to resume at 

 10 a.m., Thursday, March 1, 1962.)
