48 MARINE SCIENCES AND RESEARCH ACT 
Page 3, line 6, change lines 6 and 7 to read, “‘the National Academy 
of Sciences-National Research Council. This program should include; 
but not be limited to the—’’. 
Page 3, lines 11-13, substitute: “modernization of existing and 
construction of new Government and civilian laboratory and shore 
facilities adequate to service and supplement the research and survey 
fleets;’. This is suggested to permit flexibility in the utilization of 
existing facilities. 
Page 3, lines 15 and 16, change to read: ‘research tools, devices, 
instruments, and techniques which may include but not be limited to 
bathyscaphs and other manned’. 
Page 3, line 25, change to read: “among undergraduate students of 
mathematics, physics, engineering, chemistry,’’. 
Page 4, line 22: It is recommended that the Federal Council for 
Science and Technology establish the interagency mechanism for 
management of the national program in oceanography vice the 
establishment of a division within the National Science Foundation 
for this purpose. The functions of this management mechanism 
should be similar to the duties and responsibilities outlined for the 
Division of Marine Sciences in 8. 2692. 
Page 10, line 16, change to read: 
‘““(9) Request and obtain cooperation from and cooperate with 
other gov-”’. 
Page 12, line 13, change to read: “or procuring facilities for such 
studies which may include but not”’. 
Page 14, paragraph (b): It is recommended that this paragraph 
be deleted and that formal recognition and support be given the 
Hydrographic Office as the National Oceanographic Records Center 
by revision of sections 13 and 14. It is further recommended that 
provisions be made for such joint policy guidance and financial support 
as is necessary to insure that all of the Federal requirements are 
fulfilled. 
Page 16, line 6, change to read: “‘oceangoing scientific ships, with 
preference given to such agencies and”’. 
Page 22, line 13, substitute ‘‘basic” for ‘‘basis”’. 
Page 22, line 20: To provide greater flexibility and to be con- 
sistent with the general authority of the Office of Naval Research, 
the following is suggested as a substitute for lines 20-22: ‘Provide 
funds by contract or otherwise to scientists, Government and non- 
Government research laboratories or institutions in furtherance of 
the purposes of this Act, such funds to be used for basic and applied 
research, the purchase of equipment,”’. 
Page 23, line 3, following ‘‘basic’”’ insert ‘and appled’”’. This 
suggestion is offered as being descriptive of existing authority. 
Page 23, lines 12 and 13, following ‘ laboratories” substitute “and 
provide related instruments and equipment to support effectively the 
expanded program of basic and applied oceanographic research and 
hydrographic”. This suggestion is for completeness and accuracy. 
Page 23, lines 17 and 18, change to read: ‘‘vehicles for ocean 
research and exploration, which may include but not be limited to 
bathyscaphs and other manned submersibles,”’. 
Page 24, lines 3 and 4, change to read: ‘‘(e) Continue and expand 
the Navy’s support of marine studies substantially as proposed in
