Mr. Rogers. Dr. Berg helps yon with oceanography, as I under- 

 stand ? 



Mr. Seidman. Yes ; he does. 



Mr. Rogers. Just for my own knowledge, I am sorry I do not know 

 your background, Dr. Berg. 



Mr. Berg. I am not a scientist, either ; my background is in govern- 

 ment and economics, and I work in the general area of science orga- 

 nization, of which oceanography is, of course, only one element. 



Mr. Rogers. Yes. 



Mr. Seidman. I might point out that Dr. Berg has spent some years 

 working in the field of science organization. The study of Federal or- 

 ganization for meteorology, with which your committee is familiar 

 and the methods we ha^^e now developed for coordinating meterologi- 

 cal programs stem directly from Dr. Berg. 



Mr. Rogers. If you had a commission — perhaps one of you can an- 

 swer this — if you had a commission, how many days do you think it 

 ought to spend, a national commission, on studying the problems of 

 oceanography, to present a comprehensive look and recommendations 

 to the President? Say you wanted it to survey the entire program, set 

 goals where we should go, what we should do, the legal problems in- 

 volved, the organizational problems, the budgetary problems, the pro- 

 posed funding to come up, say, in a 5- to 10-year program ; how long 

 do you think a commission would have to function ? 



Mr. Seidman. I cannot, again, address myself specifically to ocean- 

 ography. I would need to talk to Dr. Hornig and others knowledge- 

 able in oceanography. Based on my general experience with study 

 commissions of this type and the complexity of the subject matter.
