"Would you furnish for the record what individuals and institutions 

 are eligible for fellowships and grants under the oceanographic educa- 

 tion program of Health, Education, and Welfare ? 



Dr. Frosch. Certainly. I am sure that it would be of interest to the 

 chairman and members of the committee to know that responding to 

 such inquiries is a specific task of the Committee on Marine Research, 

 Education, and Facilities, as it was of the ICO before it, and at 

 present, we reply to approximately 12,000 such inquiries from the 

 general public each year. The Committee on Marine Research would, 

 of course, be pleased to supply replies to such inquiries to aid the 

 members in their correspondence.
