a very large number of programs we think tliat it is not particularly- 

 revealing. We do not care to break that aggregate down at all, 

 publicly. 



The next two charts show the breakdown of the program in the 

 past 3 years, in two different ways. The first is the breakdown of the 

 program by department and agency, and it shows the actual obliga- 

 tions as found at the end of fiscal year 1966. (See chart 19.)

Our current estimate of the situation in fiscal 1967 is shown because 

 the final auditing and closure of 1967 books is not officially complete. 

 So this is regarded as an estimate. Also, we show the President's 

 budget submitted for fiscal 1968. As you can see, there has been a 

 pronounced increase in the total amount budgeted above that pre- 

 viously expended, and this is, generally speaking, an increase across 

 the board — some increase in the case of every department and agency. 

 In the one case in which there is an exception, Health, Education, and 

 Welfare, the change is due entirely to the fact that facilities con- 

 struction was budgeted in the previous year, and, as it happens 

 in the 1968 budget, there was no request for construction of facilities. 

 Thus, the decrease has to do with that one lump change rather than 

 any change in the level of effort of that department. 



The next chart shows you a breakdown of the programs and plans 

 by, what I might call, functional area research and development, in- 

 vestment, by which we mean purchase of ship's equipment and facil- 

 ities, and operations, including surveys, services, and so on. (See 

 chart 20.) 



In a general way, the Committee on Marine Research, Education, 

 and Facilities is responsible for research and development and for 

 the investment areas. I say "in general" because there are specific 

 areas for which other committees appointed by the Council are respon- 

 sible and in as aggregated a chart as this is, it is impossible to draw 

 the precise differences. But roughly speaking, we are starting out 

 assuming we are responsible for these areas, and as we examine the 

 details we identify the areas in which the other committees have 

 responsibility. And, we are performing direct liaison with those com-
