Energy Commission for this purpose not exceed $485,000 in the first year 
of the program or $299,000 in subsequent years of this ten-year period; 
for studies of the effects of the biosphere on the distribution and circu- 
lation of radioisotopes in the ocean, its seas, and the Great Lakes: Provided, 
however, That expenditures by the Atomic Energy Commission for this pur- 
pose not exceed $968,000 per annum ; 
for studies of the genetic effects of atomic radiations on marine organ- 
isms: Provided, however, That expenditures by the Atomic Energy Com-

for field experiments in confined bodies of water using or utilizing radio- 
isotopes: Provided, however, That expenditures by the Atomic Energy Com- 
mission for this purpose not exceed $100,000 per annum ; and 
for two major open-sea tests of radiological contamination at sea, its 
effects on marine life, and its potential effects on humanity. 
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
Sec. 13. In order to further the policies of S. Res. 136, Highty-sixth Congress, 
and of this Act, the Secretary of the Navy is authorized and directed to under- 
take a ten-year program of expanded oceanographic research and hydrographic 
surveys as part of the general United States program for the development of 
the marine sciences. The Secretary is authorized and directed, with such funds 
as may be appropriated or otherwise made available to him for purposes of 
this Act, to carry out the following activities: 
(a) Provide funds, by contract or otherwise, to scientists, Government and 
non-Government laboratories, or institutions in furtherance of the purposes of 
this Act, such funds to be used for basic and applied research, the purchase of 
equipment, acquisition or improvement of facilities, the design, development, 
and production of specialized, new, and improved oceanographic research, survey, 
and communications instruments and devices, employment of scientists and per- 
sonnel, and for other uses necessary to carry out the activities hereunder. 
(b) Initiate and carry out a ten-year program for the replacement, modern- 
ization and enlargement in the number of ships for use in basic and applied re- 
search and hydrographic surveys, and to supply, when available, ships designed 
for basic research to nonprofit scientific institutions and laboratories: Provided, 
however, That when ships are supplied under this provision, title to the ships 
shall remain with the United States Government and that the ships shall be 
reassigned or returned to Federal operation upon termination of the grant of 
contract with the institution or laboratory. 
(ec) Construct and operate a sufficient number of shore facilities and labora- 
tories and provide related instruments and equipment to support effectively 
the expanded program of basic and applied oceanographic research and hydro- 
graphic surveys authorized for the Department of the Navy to undertake under 
this Act. 
(d) Develop, construct, or acquire new or improved vehicles and instruments 
for ocean research and exploration, which may include but not be limited to 
bathyscaphs, mesoscaphs, self-propelled deep seat data collecting vehicles, and 
other manned and unmanned submersibles, icebreakers, and submarines con- 
verted for scientific use. seismic equipment, turbulence measuring devices, 
oceanographie sound velocity meters, precision echo sounders, ascoustic tele- 
metering devices, navigation location transponders, audiovisual surveillance 
systems to monitor sources of biological noises in the ocean. submarine oceano- 
graphic plankton samplers, hydrophotometers, fixed coastal acoustical-oceano- 
graphic monitoring systems, marine geophysical gravity meters, marine 
geophysical electron resonance magnetometers, shipboard wave meters and dye 
detector probes, marine geophysical remote sensing and recording systems, 
moored oceanie ambient noise monitoring buoys, expendable oceanographic 
Sensor systems, oceanographic sonic and radio frequency marine tags for 
monitoring marine fishes and mammals, improved midwater trawls, oceano- 
graphic shipboard synoptic systems for use on weather ships, radar picket ships 
and similar vessels assigned to ocean stations and when not underway, marine 
radioactive water samplers, shipboard gamma ray Getectors, marine geophysical 
underwater cameras, geophysical sea floor television systems, sea floor sediment 
samplers and analyzers, sea floor dredge winches, and other such instruments, 
devices and systems as may be useful in studies of the current structure of the 
ocean, oceanic temperatures, bottom topography, sediments, heat fow through
