140 MARINE SCIENCE 
(Discussion off the record. ) 
The CHarrman. Dr. McLaughlin, we will be ate to hear from 
you, sir. 
STATEMENT OF DR. JOHN J. A. McLAUGHLIN, HASKINS 
LABORATORIES, NEW YORK, N.Y. 
Dr. McLaveuurn. I am Dr. John McLaughlin from the Haskins 
Laboratories, New York. As we are a nonprofit institution, I am 
here representing my own. opinion and not that of the institution. 
In light of what I heard in the testimony this morning I feel that 
my contribution this morning will be very small, sir. T am naive or 
a juvenile in this respect. I have never had the oceasion to address 
a body like this before. I hope I learn from this experience. 
I took, sir, the bill and read it and reread it and went through it 
with the sense of seeing how it would appeal to me as regards my 
work. Consequently this statement is oriented along these lines. 
The use of some terminology in S. 901 appears to require clari- 
fication. It is my opinion that the terms “oceanography” and “ma- 
rine science” are used interchangeably—and they should not be. 
Here and there the word “oceanography” is used to include all oe 
marine sciences, whereas in other places the word “oceanography” 1 
used to indicate that it is separate from marine science; and yet ail 
it appears as one of the disciplines coming under the general cate- 
gory of marine science. This latter, by dictionary definition, appears 
correct. 
I have made a list of the places where this confusion in octal 
ogy exists—and suggestions to eliminate this confusion. In order 
to save the committee’s time, I would like now to submit for the rec- 
ord this list. 
The Cuarrman. All right. We will put that in the mae in full. 
(The list referred to follows:) 
In the description of the bill “marine research” for “oceanographic research.”

line 20, “marine” for “oceanographic” (United States not be eee in oceano- 
graphic research). 
Page 3, line 5, “marine” for “oceanographic” (long-range program of oceano- 
graphic research). ;

prospective oceanographers) ; line 10—says advance this in name sciences.

“oceanographic”.

Page 10, lines 15 and 16, “marine scientists” for “physical, biological, chem- 
ical, and geological oceanographers”. 
Page 19, line 14, delete “‘and oceanography”. 
Page 26, line 23, delete “oceanography and ”’. 
Page 27, line 6, delete “oceanography and”’.

Page 34, line 10, “marine” for ‘‘oceanographic’”’. 
Page 35, line 3, “marine” for “oceanographic”. 
Page 37, line 16, “basic and applied marine research” for “applied oceano- 
graphic research”. 
Page 47: Since the Coast Guard’s role in marine science has traditionally 
been that of oceanography, the use of the specific term “oceanographic re- 
search” throughout the section on the Coast Guard is appropriate.
