NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM LEGISLATION 319 



Mr. Rogers. I see. So, the total for research in the Commerce De- 

 partment, which is strictly designated as research, is a little over 

 $650,000 ? 



Dr. Morse. Yes sir. This is Coast and Geodetic Survey. In our 

 breakdown we show about $200,000 in 1965 in the Weather Bureau, 

 which shows as almost $800,000 in 1966, and in the Maritime Admin- 

 istration, it is $50,000 for research. 



Mr. Rogers. For research? 



Dr. Morse. Yes, I cannot guarantee, of course, that comparing that 

 with, say, the Navy budget necessarily meets the same definitions, but 

 I think we have made an attempt to try and insure what we call re- 

 search in one agency is equivalent to what it is called in another agency. 



Mr. Rogers. As far as ICO is concerned, this is what is done for 

 research in that agency? 



Dr. Morse. Yes. 



Mr. Rogers. That would be for 1 year approximately how much? 

 I think you gave me a 1965 figure and 1966. 



Dr. Morse. In Commerce? 



Mr. Rogers. Let us take 1 year. Let us take the present year. You 

 have given me the present year for Navy, did you not, for research, 

 the $S2 million? 



Dr. Morse. In the 1966 budget in Commerce it is just over a mil- 

 lion dollars — $1.4 million. 



Mr. Rogers. And it was $32 million in 1966 for Navy? 



Dr. Morse, I am not sure I gave you the 1966 figure. Let me look 

 again — in 1966 research is $33.4 million. 



Mr. Rogers. $33.4 million. 



Now, Interior? 



Dr. Morse. In 1966, in research — and this is its Bureau of Com- 

 mercial Fisheries — it is $12.6 million, and in 



Mr. Rogers. And is this for research? 



Dr. Morse. This is research; yes, sir. 



Mr. Rogers. All right. 



Dr. Morse. And another element of the Interior is the Geological 

 Surgey, which has $670,000 for research, and Bureau of Sports Fish- 

 eries has about $700,000 in research, the Bureau of Mines about $25,000. 



Mr. Rogers. Is this all oriented toward what we call oceanography, 

 or oceanographic programs ? 



Dr. Morse. Yes, sir. This is all to be counted in what we submit 

 in the budget as counted toward oceanography ; yes. 



Mr. Rogers. And has the approval of ICO ? 



Dr. Morse. Yes. 



Mr. Rogers. So that is about almost $13 or $14 million ? 



Dr. Morse. Yes. 



Mr. Rogers. Would that be right? 



Dr. Morse. Yes, sir. 



Mr. Rogers. Now, the National Science Foundation. 



Dr. Morse. 1966, it shows $26.1 million for research. 



ISIr. Rogers. The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare ? 



Dr. Morse. $2.6 million for research in the Public Health Service 

 and $390 in the Office of Education. 



Mr. Rogers. Education is also doing research work in oceanog- 

 raphy ?
