Dr. Robertson. Yes. 



Each of the divisions represented here by Drs. Carlson and Jones 

 is subdivided further into sections. 



In Dr. Jones' Division of Environmental Sciences, for example, 

 there is an Oceanography Section. Proposals for basic research supj)ort 

 and for research facilities support are submitted to us by the scien-

 consultants to whom the proposals are sent, and in some cases by as- 

 sembled panels. We get advice from the scientific community, and 

 then we decide within the resources available which of the projects 

 that are proposed to us can be supported.

 which are proposed, but often have to cut their requested budget con- 

 siderably below the amount they would like to have. 



Mr. Rogers. Do you put any goals to be reached, or make any gen- 

 eral outlines of projects to be conducted? 



Dr. RoBERTSOisr. In the basic research area, we try to support those 

 proposals which have the highest scientific merit. 



We do not try to tell the people at Woods Hole, for example, what 

 research should be supported in the basic research area. We simply
