 lines, in the course of the studies now going forward in the Great Lakes 

 system under the sponsorship of the Public Health Service at the 

 moment. 



Mr. Ashley. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate your courtesy and your 

 indulgence. 



Mr. Lennon. You go ahead, now. Dr. Clark said he could come 

 back. So if you want to ask questions go ahead. 



Mr. Ashley. You did mention, Doctor, that this was going to work 

 with respect to the University of Michigan. Do you have any timing 

 on that? What is the general program and the timing of the 

 program ? 



Dr. Krause. I am not exactly sure of the timing right at the moment. 

 I can provide that for the record if you would like. 



Mr. Ashley. I would appreciate that. 



Dr. Krause. All right, we will do that.

 Dr. Harry G. Hanson. 



Mr. Abel. Mr. Harry Hansen. 



Mr. Lennon. Is he here this morning? 



Mr. Abel. No; he is represented by Dr. Krause. 



Mr. Lennon. Doctor, let me direct my question to you, the appro- 

 priation for 1965, to HEW for the oceanographic program was $3% 

 million; is that right? 



Dr. Krause. For oceanographic for 1966? 



Mr. Lennon. 1965, actual appropriations. 



Dr. Krause. Yes ; I believe that is correct. 



Mr. Lennon. And your budget request this year, which has been 

 approved, is $4.4 billion? 



Now, Doctor, we are going to exercise a little legislative oversight. 

 I assume that you are in charge of the expenditures of this particular 

 fund appropriated to HEW for a national oceanographic program, 

 right ? 



Dr. Krause. A portion of that. 



Mr. Lennon. I want for this record item by item, and category by 

 category, the expenditures of your agency of this $3i/) million in 

 fiscal 1965.
