36 MARINE SCIENCES AND RESEARCH ACT 
6. Page 26, line 17, delete “‘for the construction” 
rf Page 26, line 19, delete ‘‘for the construction” 
With the above changes the bill authorizes to be appropriated to 
the Department of the Navy, during the 10-year period beginning 
with July 1 of the first fiscal year following approval of this act by the 
President, such sums as are necessary to construct the identical ships 
specified in the bill prior to amendment, but without a limitation of 
the number of ships in any category that may be constructed in any 
one year. 
This portion of the bill now reads: 
for the construction of research and survey ships which in- 
clude but shall not be limited to nine one thousand two 
hundred to one thousand five hundred tons displacement re- 
search ships; of four two thousand to three thousand tons 
displacement research ships; two survey ships of approxi- 
mately five hundred tons displacement ; five survey ships of 
one thousand two hundred to one thousand five hundred 
tons displacement; three survey ships of two thousand tons 
displacement; one research ship of 300 tons displacement. 
8. Page 27, line 5, insert after the w ord “for” and before the word 
“construction” the following words: “modernization, improvemient, 
and expansion of existing shore facilities for basic research and for’. 
This amendment is suggested in Navy-Defense Department comments 
“to permit flexibility in the utilization of existing facilities,” and 
authorized the Navy Department to finance or assist in financing 
ealargement and naerovement of existing facilities for basic research 
in addition to constr ucting new facilities for that purpose. 
9. Page 27, line 8, is amended in a manner identical to the above 
and applies to shore facilities for survey work. 
10. Page 27, lines 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, insert in line 12 after 
the word “r esear elie, the words “ wave measuring equipment, systems 
engineering for reduction of data,’’; in line 13 after the word “buoys” 
insert the words “for automatic continuous oceanographic recording” ; 
in line 14 after the word ‘use’ strike the word ‘ ‘acoustic’ and insert 
the words ‘“‘vessel positioning system acoustical equipment and 
measuring devices for direct density, turbulence and radioactivity, 
and’’; in line 15 delete the words ‘‘cameras and’’, and in line 17 delete 
the words “turbulence measuring devices,’ and insert in lieu thereof 
the words ‘‘automatic continuous,”’. These amendments broaden 
the categories of vehicles, instruments, and devices which are desig- 
nated as engineering needs for oceanographic research and surveys 
and for which such sums as may be necessary are authorized to be 
appropriated in section 14. The added instrumentation reflects not 
only some which are in current use but others which are in research or 
development stages. 
11. Page 27, line 23, after the word “students” insert ‘post-doctoral 
fellowships”. This amendment was recommended by the Committee 
on Oceanography and the American Society of Limnology and 
Oceanography to broaden the scholarship program. 
12. Page 28, line 1, after the word ‘‘these”’ insert the words ‘‘scholar- 
ships and”’. Suggested by the groups designated above and with the 
same object.
