type has been done in the ocean anywhere. Such a device would 

 be useful. 



THE CHAIRMAN: Gentlemen, there are a few more questions that 

 are of a somewhat technical nature which we will try to answer in 

 the Proceedings of this meeting. (See appendix A.) 



DR. W. S. RICHARDSON (WHOI): Mr. Chairman, I wonder if I 

 might make a remark? Yesterday Mr. Snodgrass made some re- 

 marks which I would very strongly like to second. He suggested 

 that if there are among you people anyone who is serious about 

 learning what the sea and the environment of these instruments 

 is like and who wants to go to sea, arrangements can be made 

 for you to go to sea on research vessels. I presume he was 

 speaking for his institution, and I think now I can speak for mine. 

 If you want to come as a worker on a trip, we will provide you 

 with a bed and steak lunches and things, and hold your hand if 

 you are seasick. We expect you to work -- not just go along to 

 visit. But arrangements can be made, not always at your con- 

 venience, but with some advance planning. 



I would like to leave that thought with you. If you want to 

 go and see what the ocean is like, these arrangements can be 

 made.
