 cialized talents for their solution. The program would thus augment 

 rather than replace existing programs of support — and i)rovide a

Industiinl lirms in widely diverse lields could participate in the 

 program, enabling students to puisue on-the-job training in conjunc- 

 tion with their normal educational programs. Industrial require- 

 ments will help to shape the direction of the program and, indeed, 

 the National Science Foundation looks to industry for the feedback 

 so essential to accurate planning. Thus, the Sea-Grant Program will

 power, new techniques, and concei)ts. 



In short, the Sea-Grant legislation provides for grants and con-
