space program the case for oceanography would be very good. In 
making this statement we recognize many intangibles which are often 
used to justify programs. 
It is far more difficult to compare expenditures in oceanography 
with expenditures in Great Society programs whose science and tech- 
nology component is relatively smaller. We suggest that meaningful 
although incomplete comparisons can be made using the analysis out- 
lined in section 7. In any event oceanography as conceived in this 
report complements or supplements many facets of Great Society 
programs.
