Doctor, let's consider the Indian Ocean Expedition. You financed 

 this? 



Mr. Haworth. We financed part of it. 



Mr. Bauer. Did you finance the Coast and Geodetic Survey research 

 ship that took part in the Indian Ocean ? 



Mr. Haworth. Dr. Bader can tell you in detail what we did finance 

 there. 



Mr. Bauer. Could you tell us what you financed ? 



Mr. Bader. I have a summary sheet here. 



Mr. Bauer. Could you submit that for the record then ? 



Mr. Bader. Yes, and I can give you a total if you would like. The 

 total for the Indian Ocean Expedition was $21,654,000 ; this was ex- 

 pended from fiscal year 1961, with an estimate for fiscal year 1966. 



Mr. Bauer. Does this $21 million include the cost of working up the 

 data and publication of it ? 



Mr. Bader. In some part it does, but the main body of data that are 

 now being processed and will require future spending from our regu- 

 lar research budget. This will be necessary. 



Mr. Bauer. Will you have enough money to work up the data ? 



Mr. Bader. We will have enough money to work up the data only as 

 we spread this over a period of years. It is going to take a great 

 amount of both time and money, for instance, if the biologists are to 

 do all of the systematics that are necessary. In other words, the bio- 

 logical aspects of the Indian Ocean Expedition cannot be worked up in 

 a very short period of time. 



Systematic biology is a very slow process and will be funded over a 

 number of years. The same is true for air-sea interaction studies, the 

 same for the geophysics and geology. 



Mr. Bauer. Is that shown in your summary? 



Mr. Bader, No. This summary only goes up to 1966. It shows the 

 total expenditures as of 1965, with the estimate for 1966. The U.S. 

 Navy percentage of the total $21,654,000 was 15 percent; the National 

 Science Foundation, 78 percent ; the Bureau of Commerce Fisheries, 3 

 percent ; the Weather Bureau, 3 percent ; and the Coast and Geodetic 

 Survey, 1 percent.

Mr. Bauer. That points up one final question, Mr. Chairman, I 

 think that is of concern to us, and that is : Wlien you give a grant for 

 research. Doctor, do you fund for the publication of the resiilts ? 



Mr. Bader. Yes, sir ; for our normal research grants. And since the 

 line item in our budget for the Indian Ocean expedition extended only
