NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 33 
In consideration of the potential involved, we consider this a most 
depressing outlook. I would like to introduce some evidence in sup- 
port of this potential. 
The budget of the U.S. Government for the fiscal year ending 
June 30, 1965, shows a 1965 estimated source of receipt to the U.S. 
Treasury of $260 million for “rent on Outer Continental Shelf lands” 
which is twice the budget for the entire national oceanographic 
program. 
This concludes my statement, Mr. Chairman, and I am open to your 
questioning, and that of the committee. I have also brought with mea 
copy of the film “Oceanography : Science for Survival” which describes 
the organization, the objectives, and the activities of the ICO. I will 
be delighted to show it at any time during these hearings, at your con- 
venience. 
After you have concluded your questions, I would like to introduce 
Dr. I. E. Wallen, chairman of the research panel whe will expand on 
our general ICO effort and highlight some of the accomplishments in 
the research area. 
Thank you very much, sir. 
Mr. Lennon. Doctor, the ICO pamphlet No. 11, national oceano- 
graphic program, fiscal year 1964, without objection, will be included 
in the record following Dr. Wakelin’s statement. The chart that you 
referred to on page 17 which you asked permission to be included in 
the record, without objection that will be included in the record fol- 
lowing your statement. 
Now, could we go off the record ? 
(Discussion off the record.) 
Mr. Lennon. On the record. 
We'll begin with Mr. Pelly. 
Mr. Petty. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 
I would like to associate myself with the statement that you made at 
the beginning of the testimony of Secretary Wakelin; I think you have 
placed in the record something of the recognition of his accomplish- 
ments and I certainly want to state for my part, Dr. Wakelin, it has 
been a great pleasure for me to see what you have done in the way of 
coordinating the oceanographic efforts of the various agencies of 
Government. I do not think there is anyone that is familiar with this 
work that would not admit that a large part of the success has been 
due to your own personal efforts in this respect. I think your service 
in Government is something which speaks for itself. You are going 
to have a very prominent place in the annals of oceanography because 
I think you have set the program up on a sound basis and maybe you 
are dissatisfied with the fact that there is not more money forthcoming 
and feel you have not been fully successful, but I think you have or- 
ganized our national effort on a sound basis and you have all the various 
heads of these agencies working closely together. It has been a real 
pleasure to me to observe your work and I only want to say how much 
I regret the fact that you are not going to be before this committee in 
the future. It has been a number of years of service that you have given 
to the Government and you certainly have contributed a great deal. 
Mr. Waxetin. Thank you very much.
