NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM LEGISLATION 463 



Mr. Bauer. In the 1966 program did the Federal Council consider 

 the ICO program ? 



Admiral Childress. I don't believe I know. 



Mr. Bauer. Dr. Hornig, in answer to a question before the Sen- 

 ate Committee on Commerce regarding S. 944, specifically said that 

 the ICO proposed the augmentation of some programs and the initia- 

 tion of others. This is on page 24 of the Senate hearmgs. 



He said : "At an incremental cost of $50 million." 



Apparently the Federal Council took no action on this request so 

 it was decided by the Bureau of the Budget and Dr. Hornig. 



Admiral Childress. I remember the item. 



Mr. Bauer. In other words, does the Federal Council of Science 

 and Technology review and act on the programs? This apparently 

 says they do not. Is that true for 1966 ? _ 



"Admiral Childress. These specifics you just read would indicate 

 to me he looked at this report. 



Mr. Bauer. Dr. Hornig did ? 



Admiral Childress. That is right. 



Mr. Bauer. That is all I have. 



Mr. Casey. Thank jou, Admiral. We certainly appreciate your 

 being with us this morning. 



Admiral Shields. Thank you, sir. 



Mr. Casey. The committee will meet again on Tuesday morning 

 at 10 o'clock. 



(Whereupon the subcommittee adjourned to reconvene at 10 a.m., 

 Tuesday, August 17, 1965.)
