MARINE SCIENCE 87 



Now, this peak, I am told by friends of mine within the Govern- 

 ment, that peaking- a budget is an extremely difficult thing to do. 

 That is something much more in your area than in ours. 



The Chairman. The total cost for tlie 10-year program would be in 

 the neighboriiood of $212 million'^ 



Mr. Brown. That is right. I might point out 



The Chairman. Or approximat«ly $20 million a year ? 



Mr. Brown. Yes. 



The Chairman. I can't help but remark, we put that in one capsule, 

 going the other way. 



Mr. Brow^n. I might point out I happen to be a member of what is 

 called the Space Science Board of the National Academy. This is a 

 group which serves as a genei-al advisory group in t'he National Aero- 

 nautics and Space Administration, and this appears to be rather small 

 potatoes compared with the figures we used over there. 



The Chairman. I am sure that Dr. Glennan and the rest of them 

 would endorse this program. They would consider it necessary and 

 I think vital, along with their program. I am sure they would. 



Mr. Brown. I don't think there is any question about it. As a 

 matter of fact, my own research is more intimately involved in the 

 space program than it is with oceanography, and thus I can say, with- 

 out any prejudice whatsoever, in my opinion the carrying out of a 

 program such as that outlined here is just about the most important 

 long-range activity that our Government could get involved in fi'om 

 the scientific point of view, and from the practical point of view. 



The Chairman. Well, this is a very good breakdown, as much as 

 could be done when you are estimating and looking into the future 

 and I want to suggest that the breakdown beginning on page 12 of 

 the tables, up to u, page 8 — page 16 will be put in the record, which 

 shows the operating costs, the numbers, the suggestions made. 



Senator Yarborough. Shouldn't we print this whole thing in the 

 record ? 



The Chairman. Yes, I think the whole thing should be printed in 

 the record. 



Mr. Brown. An extensive part of this was introduced into the rec- 

 oi-d some months ago, I believe, by Senator Humphrey. 



The Chairman. I want it in our record here.
