32 MARINE SCIENCES AND RESEARCH ACT 
For engineering studies in connection with control and monitoring 
radioactive contamination in the marine environment—not to exceed 
$370,000 in any one year. 
For participating in international meetings of scientists held to 
consider international contro! and monitoring—not to exceed $30,000 
in any one year. 
For estuarine and coastal studies authorized in section 11—not to 
exceed $2,800,000 per annum. 
For research to determine circulation and mixing processes which 
control the dispersion of radioactive wastes in deep waters of the 
open ocean—not to exceed $1,400,000 per annum. 
For studies of the inorganic transfer of radioactive elements from 
sea water to the sediments—not to exceed $484,000 in the first year 
of the program or $299,000 in subsequent years of the 10-year program. 
For studies of the effects of the biosphere on the distribution and 
circulation of radioisotopes in the oceans and adjacent seas—not to 
exceed $938,000 per annum. 
For studies of the genetic effects of atomic radiations on marine 
organisms—not to exceed $100,000 per annum. 
For field experiments in confined bodies of water using radio- 
isotopes—not to exceed $100,000 per annum. 
For two major open-sea tests of radiological contamination at sea, 
its effects on marine life, and its potential effects on humanity—such 
sums as are necessary. The Committee on Oceanography estimates 
that the cost of these tests would not exceed $2 million each, including 
ship time.

DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY 
Section 13 would authorize the Secretary of the Navy, with such 
funds as may be appropriated or otherwise made available to him, to 
carry out the following activities: 
1. Undertake a 10-year program of expanded basic oceanographic 
research and hydrographic surveys as part of the general program 
for the development of the marine sciences in the United States. 
2. Make grants of funds to scientists, research laboratories, or 
institutions for the above purposes. 
3. Institute a 10-year program for the replacement, modernization, 
and enlargement in ‘the number of ships for use in ocean research and 
surveys, retaining title to these ships when they are supplied to 
nonpr -ofit scientific institutions for those purposes. 
4. Construct and operate sufficient shore facilities and laboratories 
to support effectively the expanded research and survey programs. 
5. Develop and construct or acquire new and improved vehicles 
for ocean research and exploration. These include bathyscaphs, 
icebreakers and submarines converted for scientific use. It also 
includes many scientific devices, among them seismic equipment, 
precision echo sounders, acoustic telemetering devices, and instru- 
ments for the study of ‘the current structure of the ocean, oceanic 
temperatures, bottom topography, sound transmission and velocities, 
ambient noise, biological activity, and chemical or elemental com- 
ponents of the oceans.
