Members of a working group of the Plankton Committee of the International 

 Council for the Exploration of the Sea for the standardization of plankton 

 methods. 



Served as Chief Scientist of Project Neptune, an Office of Naval Research 

 sponsored study to determine the feasibility of using American merchant ships 

 for making oceanographic measurements. 



As Head of the Biological Oceanography Group is responsible for developing 

 and supervising the implementation of a field and laboratory program primarily 

 aimed at improving sampling techniques to permit a better understanding of 

 the bioenvironment and populations in the sea. 



March 1967 — Smithsonian Institution, Office of Oceanography and Limnology, 

 Deputy Head. 



Directs studies of ecology and zoogeography of zooplankton and micronekton, 

 and the applications of modern instrumentation to biological sampling. 



Mr. EoGEES. This would be funded by another agency. Basically, 

 what Federal funds do you actually obtain and in what areas? You 

 have about $1.8 million for oceanographic work ? 



Dr. Galler. No, sir. This is our hope and aspiration, but in point 

 of fact, unless you define oceanography at its very broadest, the Office 

 of Oceanography right now, I think, is limited to about $100 thou- 

 sand-plus ; is that correct ? 



Mr. Rogers. This report indicates you have estimated $1.6 million, 

 and the President's budget for 1968 would allocate $1.8 million. Is 

 that correct ? 



Dr. Galler. May I ask Dr. Aron to comment on that ? 



Dr. Aron. I think I can explain this. Included in those figures are 

 the actual salaries for the 70 or so scientists on the Smithsonian staff 

 who are directly involved in marine research programs. 



Mr. Rogers. Do these come from the budget ? 



Dr. Aron. These come from the budget. 



Mr. Rogers. That is the real figure. 



Dr. Aron. That is iho. figure. Our own office, which includes the 

 operation of the Smithsonian Oceanographic Sorting Center, has a 

 substantially lower budget, something on the order of $200,000. 



Mr. Rogers. For operation ? 



Dr. Aron. For operation.
