Two of the laboratories are, of course, the laboratories of the Army 

 Engineers and are concerned ^Yith the Corps' waterways development 

 responsibilities. 



The next chart shows the laboratories of the Federal establishment 

 outside of the Department of Defense. We numbered these and coded 

 them so that you will be able to tell which agency or department is 

 responsible for each laboratory. We have tried to caption them so 

 that you can tell what the major business of the laboratory is. In the 

 lower left you will see a block of captions that lists the laboratories 

 which do not appear on the chart because they are located elsewhere 

 than the continental United States, being in Plawaii, Alaska, the 

 Canal Zone, et cetera. It is clear from both of these charts that the 

 laboratories are located where the water is. This seems to be a reason- 

 ably logical scheme. 



Water clearly includes not only the seashore around the edges of 

 the United States but also the Great Lakes as part of the national 

 seashore and the national oceanographic responsibility. (See chart 14.) 



I realize that it will be difficult for you to absorb all of the mate- 

 rial on the charts as rapidly as I can present it, but I hope that the 

 material will be useful for the committee's studies, aside from my 

 presentation this morning. 



The next chart represents an attempt to map the major academic 

 oceanographic institutions, the ones that have the teaching and educa- 

 tion of students, as well as research, as part of their mission. We have 

 not been able to put on this chart all of the organizations that report 

 themselves as teaching oceanography or marine sciences. As far as 

 we are able to determine, the ones on this chart, however, represent 

 approximately 95 percent of the national academic effort in marine 

 sciences as measured either by expenditure of the school or by number 

 of faculty members. Here, of course, the interests of the institutions 

 are strongly dependent on their proximity to the ocean or to the Great 

 Lakes. (See chart 15.) 



The next chart also is packed with information. It shows the major 

 academic and private laboratories, and the criterion for inclusion here 

 is an annual expenditure in the marine sciences on the order of one- 

 half million dollars or more in funds from all sources. We have indi- 

 cated the location of these laboratories on the charts and have pro- 

 vided a pie-cut diagram showing source of funds, which is color coded 

 on the large chart. I believe in the small ones you will have to find the 

 code by the position on the pie diagram. The coding gives the source 

 of the major support as Navy, (or, more generally, Defense Depart- 

 ment), NSF, university and State support, and other support. 



It was difficult to make any finer breakdown than that shown by 

 the diagrams and still have any kind of coherency in the chart. If 

 there are particular questions that are raised by this chart, we can 

 provide the committee with more detailed information whenever you 

 require it. (See chart 16.)
