" Many programs of tlie Departments of Defense, Commerce, the Interior, and Transportation and other 

 agencies closely related to marine science are not included. 



*■ Any comparison between the figures for Fiscal Years 1972 and 1973 should also consider the effective de- 

 valuation of the U.S. dollar because a large part of these funds are converted into foreign currencies. 



■= It should be noted that certain international agencies (e.g., the United Nations Development Fund) 

 have not yet completed the allocation of their funds for Fiscal Year 1973. Therefore, it is possible that this 

 figure will increase by 0.2 or 0.3. 



■* Except for Corps of Engineers civil works programs all Department of Defense funds relate to na- 

 tional security, although some appear in categories which are related to other national goals. 



• Funds for the support of this program were listed under the Department of the Interior through Fiscal 

 Year 1971. 



/ Subpurposes redefined after Fiscal Year 1971. 



' Funds for the support of the Lake Survey, the Great Lakes Center, and the National Oceanographic 

 Instrumentation Center were listed under the Department of Defense through Fiscal Year 1971. 



• Funds for the support of the National Data Buoy Project were listed under the Department of Trans- 

 portation through Fiscal Year 1971. 



• Funds for the support of the National Oceanographic Data Center were included in the previous pro- 

 grams of the Departments of Defense, Transportation, the Interior, Health, Education, and Welfare, Com- 

 merce, the National Science Foundation, and the Atomic Energy Commission.
