nel. There is the overall problem of getting any agreement at all. 

 And then it leaves it wide open. Here is Peru claiming 150 miles or 

 something like that, for tmia rights.

The Chairman. Well, thank you very much, Dr. Schaefer. We 

 appreciate it.

 GRAPHIC INSTITUTION, AND LAMAR WORZEL, LAMONT OBSER- 

 VATORY 



The Chairman. Dr. Iselin wants to talk about the defense applica- 

 tion of marine science, which is very important to this committee. 



You may proceed. 



Mr. Iselin. Since 1937 I have been intimately connected with the 

 many applications of marine science to warfare at sea. While the 

 chapter of our report which I am summarizing and which attempts 

 to deal with is this subject entitled "Defense Applications," I would 

 like to emphasize at the outset that oceanography is just as important
