Of course, if someone comes up with a satisfactory solution, they 

 can use the truly high-production techniques which Annerican 

 industry possesses. Using modern methods that are just getting 

 underway, such as moletronics, they can turn out very large quanti- 

 ties at reasonable prices. There are obviously a lot of gaps in this, 

 but I think these are some of the things that we do need to examine. 



Finally, no nnatter what you read, no matter what I tell you or 

 someone else tells you, there is no substitute for a first hand feel 

 for the ocean. I have talked about this with some of my colleagues, 

 and it is safe to say that the research institutions are glad to extend 

 an invitation to serious -minded engineers to take you to sea, to give 

 you some sea experience, if you demonstrate that you are sufficient- 

 ly well motivated in this regard, because I think this will pay real 

 dividends to you and you will better understand the problenns. I 

 could talk all day. I could show you more pictures. It won't do any 

 good until you can get a first hand feel and understanding of this.
