specimens useful in scientific classification of marine or- 
ganisms. 
10. Page 11, line 1, strike ‘‘(i)”” and insert in lieu thereof ‘‘(j)’’. 
11. Page 11, line 12, strike the word ‘Bureau’. 
12. Page 11, line 13, strike the words “of Mines and the” and 
insert after the word ‘‘Fisheries,’’? the phrase ‘‘Bureau of Mines and 
Geological Survey’’. The purpose of this is to include the Geological 
Survey among the agencies in the Department of the Interior for which 
sums are authorized to be appropriated in this section. 
13. Page 12, line 13, insert after “Studies” the words “which may 
include but not be”’ and strike the words “including, but not”. This 
is perfecting language which follows suggestions in the joint comments 
submitted by the Navy and Defense Departments. 
14. Page 12, lines 23, 24, and 25, strike the word “north” ending 
line 23, all of line 24 reading “of 40 degrees north latitude, between 
15 and 40 de-’’, and from line 25 the following: ‘‘gress north latitude,” 
and in line 25 insert after the word ‘Sea,’ the words ‘‘the Great 
Lakes, and’. The purpose of this amendment is to remove geo- 
graphical specifications relative to providing facilities for, and con- 
ducting ocean resource studies, which at hearings on the bill were 
objected to by the Committee on Oceanography as being unduly 
restrictive. 
15. Page 13, line 1, substitute the word ‘other’ for the word 
“ocean” and strike ‘‘and the Great Lakes,” the Great Lakes having 
been inserted in the previous line. 
16. Page 13, line 9, strike “taxonomic development” and substitute 
“taxonomy.” <A perfecting amendment. 
17. Strike the word “‘braking”’ and insert in lieu thereof ‘‘brackish.”’ 
This corrects a misprint in the bill. 
18. Page 13, line 15, strike ‘$6,500,000 and substitute ‘$11,- 
000,000”. This change is made as the result of a review of the sums 
recommended by the Committee on Oceanography of the amounts 
needed for a minimal program of studies over a 10-year period of 
marine product utilization, development of new uses, legal and eco- 
nomic problems affecting commercial fisheries, and utilization of 
mineral resources extracted from the marine environment. 
19. Page 13, line 18, after the word ‘chemicals,’ strike the word 
“and” and insert the word “for.” 
20. Page 13, line 19, after the word “products” change the colon to 
a comma, and insert ‘for legal and economic studies relating to com- 
mercial fisheries, and for investigations of mineral resources of the 
seas:”’. 
21. Page 13, lines 22, 23, and 24, before the word “through” in 
line 22 insert the words ‘‘agencies or laboratories’, and after the 
word ‘‘institutions” in line 22 strike the remainder of the paragraph 
and insert the words “agencies, and laboratories.’”” <A perfecting 
amendment. 
Although S. 2692 was introduced on September 11, 1959, and the 
Department of the Interior was repeatedly invited to submit com- 
ments on the bill, no comments were received until the afternoon of 
May 17, 1960, and after it had been announced that the bill was on 
the committee agenda for consideration on the following morning. 
Among other comments the Department suggested that the limita- 
tions placed in section 6(b) on authorizations for operation of new
