MARINE SCIENCE 71 



Mr. Vine. In the question of surveying the oceans, in the past we 

 have not done large-scale surveying of the ocean and we have tended 

 to use the techniques which exist. Any organization which looks 

 forward to many years of intensive survey wants to be sure that they 

 are developing the equipment and the instruments both for making 

 those measurements and for analyzing those measurements. 



Senator Lausche. Are you able to say what amount of money the 

 Federal Government through the Department of the Navy and what- 

 ever other departments are participating, is spending in this general 

 subject? 



( 'an anyone on our staif answer that ? 



Mr. Vine. In the field of new devices, I would estimate that perhaps 

 5 percent of the total. 



Senator Lausche. And what is the total ? Five percent of the total 

 appropriation to the Navy ? 



Mr. Vine. No ; only 5 percent of that which goes to oceanography. 



Senator Lausche. Where does the other 95 percent come from ? 



Mr. Vine. Five percent of the money which goes into oceanography 

 goes into new devices. This might be a million dollars a j-ear. 



Senator Lausche. That comes from the Federal Government ? 



Mr. Vine. Most of that comes from the Federal Government. 



Senator Lausche. May I ask the staff, is there anything in the record 

 about how much is being spent and what is being recommended ? 



Mr. Markel. We have that. I can bring it over. I don't have it 

 right here. 



Senator Lausche. Is it in the record ? 



Mr. Markel. No, sir. 



Senator Lausche. May it be put in the record ? 



Mr. jMarkel. It will be put in the record. 



Senator Lausche. You are unable to give specific help on this 

 subject? 



Mr. Markel. No, I would say not. 



Senator Lausche. Thank you very much. Dr. Vine.
