MARINE SCIENCE 5 
- Sec. 4. It is necessary in order to further the policies of S. Res. 136, Highty- 
sixth Congress, and of this Act, to have the National Science Foundation carry 
out, under laws, as amended, relating to such Foundation, specified duties as 
part of the general program for the development of the marine sciences in 
the United States. Appropriations authorized in this section shall be in addi- 
tion to other appropriations provided for such Foundation to carry out its 
duties under law. There is hereby authorized to be appropriated to the Na- 
tional Science Foundation, during the ten-year period beginning with July 1 of 
the first fiscal year following approval of this Act by the President, the fol- 
lowing sums: 
ae) The sum of $9,950,000 for the construction of oceanographic research 
ships ; 
(b) The sum of $12,440,000 for the operation of oceanographic research ships 
constructed under the authorizations of this Act; 
Couithe sum of $8,250,000 for construction of shore facilities for marine re- 
search ; ; 
(d) The sum of $37,200,000 for basic marine research operations: Provided, 
however, That the expenditure under this subsection (d) shall not exceed 
$8,000,000 in any one year of the ten-year program; 
(e) Such sums as may be adequate for specialized oceanographic instruments 
or equipment for marine research and exploration which may include. bathy- 
scaphs and other manned submersibles, self-propelled deep sea data collecting 
vehicles, moored oceangraphic buoy systems, icebreakers and submarines 
modified for scientific use, acoustic telemetering devices, biochemical sea sur- 
face analyzers, direct density measuring devices, hydrophotometers, subsurface 
cameras and marine geophysical sea floor television systems, seismic equip- 
ment, turbulence measuring devices, marine biological devices including ocea- 
nographie plankton samplers, precision salinometers, precision echo sounders, 
oceanographie sound velocity meters, sea floor geothermal probes and geophysi- 
eal sea floor samplers, audiovisual surveillance systems to monitor sources of 
marine biological noises, gravimeters, magentometers, marine geophysical re- 
mote sensing and recording systems, marine radioactive water samplers and 
shipboard gamma ray detectors, and other new, improved, or specialized instru- 
ments and laboratory equipment: Provided, however, That expenditures under 
this subsection shall not exceed $10,000,000 in any one year of the ten-year 
program; 
(£) The sum of $4,800,000 for education and training in the marine sciences 
for selected students beginning not lower than the senior level of undergraduate 
School and continuing through not more than four years of graduate train- 
ing in such sciences, and for fellowships and research apprenticeships to grad- 
uate students and postdoctoral fellows training to become professional physical, 
biological, chemical, and geological oceanographers: Provided, however, That 
expenditures under this subsection shall not exceed $480,000 per annum. 
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, BUREAU OF COMMERCIAL 
FISHERIES, AND BUREAU OF MINES 
Sec. 5. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed, with such 
funds as may be appropriated or otherwise made available to him, to under- 
take a ten-year program of study and research as part of the general program 
for the development of the marine sciences in the United States. In furtherance 
of the purposes of this Act, the Secretary is authorized and directed to carry 
out, in addition to programs now underway, the following activities: 
(a) Make grants of funds to qualified scientists, research laboratories, institu- 
tions, or other non-Federal agencies in furtherance of the purposes of this Act, 
such grants to be used for basie and applied research programs, the purchase 
of equipment, acquisition or improvement of facilities, and for other uses nec- 
essory to carry out the activities and duties hereunder. 
(b) Initiate and carry out a program for the replacements, modernization, 
and enlargement in the number, of oceangoing and Great Lakes ships used for 
research, exploration, surveying, and the development of marine resources. 
(ec) Construct and operate a sufficient number of shore facilities and labora- 
tories, including biological, technological, and instrumentation laboratories to 
support effectively the vessels provided for under the preceding subsection (b), 
and programs authorized under subsequent provisions of this section wherein 
laboratory research or development may be useful.
