V. PANEL ON RADIOACTIVITY IN THE OCEANS 



(This group continues to be active as the Committee on the Effects of Atomic 

 Radiation on Oceanography and Fisheries of the National Academy of Sciences' 

 Study of the Biological Effects of Atomic Radiation. It responds to inquiries 

 from but is not officially a part of the Committee on Oceanography. )

National Academy op Scienoes-Nationax, Research Council 



The National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council is a private, 

 nonprofit organization of scientists, dedicated to the furtherance of science and 

 to its use for the general welfare. 



The Academy itself was established in 1863 under a congressional charter 

 signed by President Lincoln. Empowered to provide for all activities appropriate 

 to academies of science, it was also required by its charter to act as an adviser 

 to the Federal Government in scientific matters. This provision accounts for 

 the close ties that have always existed between the Academy and the Government, 

 although the Academy is not a governmental agency. 



The National Research Council was established by the Academy in 1916, at 

 the request of President Wilson, to enable scientists generally to associate their 

 efforts with those of the limited membership of the Academey in service to th;e 

 Nation, to society, and to science at home and abroad- Members of the National 

 Research Council receive their appointments from the president of the Academy. 

 They include representatives nominated by the major scientific and technical 

 societies, representatives of the Federal Government, and a number of members 

 at large. In addition, several thousand scientists and engineers take part in 

 the activities of the Research Council through membership on its various boards 

 and committees. 



Receiving funds from both public and private sources, by contributions, grant, 

 or contract, the Academy and its Research Council thus work to stimulate 

 research and its applications, to survey the broad possibilities of science, to 

 promote effective utilization of the scientific and technical resources of the 

 country, to serve the Government, and to further the general interests of science. 



The Chairman. Do you have anything else, Dr. Brown? 



Mr. BROwisr. I have nothing further. 



The Chairman. I think of no further questions. We have covered 

 it quite thoroughly here. We will have, I think, a very readable record 

 which will contain justification for these suggestions. 



Of course, we run into the cost all the time, and the Bureau of the 

 Budget, and the problem of how much we can afford. I think Con-
