Peesident's Science Advisoey Committee — PANUi on Oceanography 



As early as the fall of 1964, the Chairman of the President's Science Advisory 

 Committee felt that a Panel on Oceanography should be formed. In early spring 

 of 1965, Dr. Gordon J. F. MacDonald informally agreed to serve as Chairman 

 of such a Panel. This was discussed at the May meeting of PSAC and on June 8, 

 1965, Dr. MacDonald was formally appointed. During June and July formula- 

 tion of the full panel was completed and the first meeting was held at Woods 

 Hole, Mass., on July 23-24, 1965. The second meeting is planned for August 

 28-29 and a third meeting for September 17-18. Meetings of about two days 

 a month for nine months are presently planned. StafE functions will be 

 supplied by the staff of the Office of Science and Technology with the assistance 

 of the StafE of the Interagency Committee on Oceanography. The membership 

 follows :

If the gentleman would permit me at this point, in order to get 

 something in the record, Doctor, there is such a panel that is laiown 

 as the President's Science Advisory Committee Panel on Ocean- 

 ography. 



Dr. HoLLOMON. Yes, Sir. 



Mr. Lennon. And was that the panel that you are referring to ? 



Dr. HoLLOMON. I believe that — oh, yes ; that is correct. 



Mr. Lennon, And when was that brought into being. Doctor? 



Dr. HoLLOMON. I can furnish it for the record. I just don't know, 

 personally. 



Mr. Lennon. Do you know the names of the members of that par- 

 ticular panel, the President's Science Advisory Committee Panel on 

 Oceanography ?
