NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM LEGISLATION 



341 



Now, that is not an unreasonable request. It is part of the oceano- 

 graphic program. It may be that part of it was used in the Great 

 Lakes area for your contractual relationship with the Corps of En- 

 gineers related to pollution, and so forth. 



As a matter of fact, we are going to ask every agency before we get 

 through to furnish us for the record an item-by- item, detailed account 

 of the expenditures of the last fiscal year on the basis of their appro- 

 priations. 



Then our staff can read it and have you gentlemen back next year, 

 and we are going to check again as to how you are getting along on 

 these programs. 



Thank you, so much, I do not think that is an unreasonable request, 

 we have the responsibility or are supposed to have it. 



Thank you so much.
