Dr. Benson. Actually, this proposal was received, in effect, after 

 the decision had been reached. We first started talking about the 

 need for oceanographic vessels when I first joined the Science Founda- 

 tion early in 1956 and, in May 1956, I prepared a staff study in 

 which I had cited consultations with the personnel of ONR, and 

 with oceanographers in the country about the growing need for new 

 oceanographic vessels, both to replace a fleet that was being worn out 

 and to start building up oceanography. This was even before the 

 Academy Committee was formed. This study was considered by the 

 Earth Science Panel of that year, and I have the names of those people 

 also. 



Mr. Baiter. Will you supply it for the record ? 



Dr. Benson. Yes, I will supply that for the record.

Memorandum for the Recokd, October 15, 1956 



In connection with its studies of needs in oceanography, the earth sciences 

 program, through the MPE Division, requested and received aid of the American 

 University in calling a special meeting of the directors of seven oceanographic 

 institutions to discuss the need for new research vessels. The meeting was 

 held in the board room of the National Science Foundation, September 29, 1956, 

 and was attended by the following people : 

 Participants : 



Dr. Columbus Iselin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. 



Dr. Maurice Ewing, Lamont Geological Observatory. 



Dr. Donald Pritchard, Chesapeake Bay Institute, John Hopkins University. 



Dr. F. G. Walton Smith, Marine Laboratory, University of Miami. 



Dr. Dale Leipper, Texas A. & M. Research Foundation. 



Dr. Richard Fleming, University of Washington. 



Dr. Roger Revelle, Scripps Institution of Oceanography. 



Dr. William E. Benson, National Science Foundation.
