FRONTIERS IN OCEANIC RESEARCH 67 



The Chairman. We want to thank you for being here this morning, 

 Mr Secretary, and appreciate your fine testimony. 



Dr. Wakelin. Thank you, sir. I was happy to be here for the 

 commencement exercises also. 



The Chairman. Off the record. 



(Discussion off the record.) 



The Chairman. If there are no further questions then I want to 

 make the announcement here which our technical director has given 

 me. 



At 2 o'clock today in this room there will be a private filming for 

 our members and the staff by the National Academy of Sciences, two 

 of 20 minutes each — there will be two films. One is on ocean sciences, 

 and the other on satellites. 



Dr. Hugh Odishaw will provide the commentary on both of them. 

 All of the members that can — I know we are pretty hard at work 

 and everybody has his problems this time of the year — but whoever 

 can attend, we would appreciate their coming. 



Let's see now, we have another distinguished witness this morning, 

 Dr. James E. Lipp, director of development planning of the Lock- 

 heed Aircraft Corp., Burbank, Calif. 



Mr. Miller. Mr. Chairman, before Dr. Lipp starts, I think it would 

 be fine if we placed the biographical record of Secretary Wakelin in 

 the record. I suggest that of Dr. Lipp also, who is before us, and 

 that the biography of Dr. Harrison Brown, who testified yesterday, 

 that they all be made a part of the record. 



The Chairman. I think that is an excellent suggestion. If there 

 is no objection then, we will place those in the record also. 



(The biographical sketches for previous witnesses referred to have 

 been inserted at the beginning of the testimony of each witness. The 

 biography of Dr. Lipp is as follows :)
