APPENDIX I 
Panel Membership and Activities 
In the course of formulating this report, the Panel on Oceanography 
and its Subpanel on Marine Biology gathered information in a number 
of ways. Among these were visits to laboratories, interviews with 
representatives of Federal agencies and industry and interviews with 
knowledgeable individuals. In addition representatives of the agen- 
cies listed in this appendix met with the Panel and Subpanel during 
some of their meetings. Twelve oceanographic institutions were 
polled for data summarized in the report. In all, the Panel and Sub- 
panel spent 29 days (18 for Panel and 11 for Subpanel) in formal 
meetings starting in July 1965 and ending in April 1966. The Panel, 
Subpanel on Marine Biology, places visited, people contacted, and 
Federal agencies interviewed are given below. 
In addition to contacts through meetings, each of the Panel mem- 
bers, Subpanel members, and staff having 20 different private, aca- 
demic, and governmental affiliations, during their professional activi- 
ties made contacts with a large number of individuals. During the 
existence of the Panel several hundred professional oceanographers 
and marine biologists with industrial, governmental, and university 
affiliations were contacted in this manner. No attempt has been made 
to tabulate these informal contacts, but they should be recognized as 
an important part of this study. 
Captain Edward Snyder met with the Panel on numerous occasions. 
He provided detailed information on many aspects of the Federal pro- 
gram as a representative of Dr. Robert Morse, chairman of the Inter- 
agency Committee on Oceanography. 
The Panel encountered many problems involving legal questions, 
which it discussed with Mr. Michael Cardozo and on his recommenda- 
tion sought the advice of another distinguished expert, William T. 
Burke, of Ohio State University. Professor Burke reviewed the en- 
tire draft report and raised numerous substantive questions regarding 
law. A portion of his comments form the basis for section 10.3 and 
106
