Mr. Drewrt. The thing that is of interest to me, when you made 

 reference to the ad hoc group which I think adds up to about 15

 the users want in the way of oceanographic information by means of 

 satellite or spacecraft. 



Dr. Seamans. That is the way of formalizing it. Of course, it is 

 a method of communication. It is also necessary to have those respon-
