Mr, Abel. At the same time the Science Foundation decided to im- 

 plement the program through two main divisions. First, sea grant, 

 project support, in direct response to the act, was to include individual 

 tasks either of research and development nature, education and train- 

 ing, or information transfer. The latter is broadly inclusive of ad- 

 visory services, extension programs, et cetera. Thereafter, in August, 

 the Science Foundation published the official brochure containing the 

 guidelines for proposals and going into considerably more detail as to 

 the scope of the program. I should like to offer that for the record as 

 well at this time.
