NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM LEGISLATION 359 



Mr. Casey. You have not ? 



Dr. Clark. No, sir. 



Mr. Casey. Tliank you. 



Mr. Lennon. Mr. Counsel ? 



Mr. Drewry. Dr. Clark, ^Yhen we first heard from Mr. Trussell of 

 the interest of the National Association of Manufacturers in appear- 

 ing, it came at least to me, as a surprise that the NAM had a com- 

 mittee on oceanog-raphy. How long has that been in being? 



Dr. Clark. Just over a year. 



Mr. Drewry. A little over a year. 



In your statement — even as you are calling for a new study — you 

 indicate that you have done quite a bit of studying and have put your 

 finger on a large number of areas, specific areas that need to be 

 treated, which would indicate to me that the National Association 

 of Manufacturers is pretty deeply into this subject and possibly will 

 continue to be. 



What I am getting at is, with this developing interest in industry 

 on an organized basis that in your own way, as a very effective orga- 

 nization, you will be doing just what you are asking that there be 

 clone already, and you certainly have no slowness about coming to 

 Congress to express your views. 



I really just wanted to make that observation, because I think that 

 in the short time — only a year — you have been with the association, 

 your presence would indicate that the association is bearing down on 

 this subject. So maybe this desirable natural program can be con- 

 ducted with a more lively, active, continuing interest in tandem with a 

 commission type study while that special group looks into further 

 range aspects of the big problem. 



Dr. Clark. This is certainly true. 



Mr. Reinecke. Mr. Chairman ? 



Mr. Dre^vry. Yes, sir. 



Mr. Eeinecke. Perhaps this is a good example of where they will 

 act far faster than the planned economy of the Government. I would 

 like to subscribe to your remarks along with that. 



Mr. Drewry. That is all, Mr. Chairman. I simply wanted to ex- 

 press that thought. 



Mr. LENNOisr. Dr. Clark, I want to express my appreciation to you 

 and your organization for the responsive interest the industry is show- 

 ing in this overall problem. 



Thank you for your statement. 



Our next witness is the vice president of the Westinghouse Defense 

 & Space Center, and general manager, underseas divsion, J. H. 

 Clotworthy. 



Is that Dr. Clotworthy ? 



Mr. Clotworthy. No, sir. 



Mr. Lennon. It generally is at that level. 



You may go right ahead. Anyone accompanying you whom jou 

 would like to have sitting with you? 



Mr. Clotworthy. I do not believe so, sir. 



Mr. Lennon, Thank you, go right ahead.
