Mr. Rogers. I would agree with you. 
Dr. WaxKeLin. Tam speaking as an individual. 
Mr. Rocxrs. I would agree with you wholeheartedly because I know 
the problem we are having up and down our coastline is tremendous, 
and the damage is So very great. 
Dr. Waxein. Yes. 
Mr. Rogers. I would hope that the Interagency and the Federai 
Council would assign a little higher peony to these studies. 
I commend you for your work, “Mr. ecretary. 
Mr. Mosuzr. No questions. 
Mr. Casry. No questions. 
Mr. Lennon. Dr. Wakelin, the ICO has been in existence now 
around 5 years, has it not? 
Dr. WaKetin. Yes. : 
Mr. Lennon. Are there minutes kept of the several meetings of the 
ICO? 
Dr. Waxziin. Complete mimutes. 
Mr. Lennon. Are minutes kept of various panel discussions? 
Dr. WakE.in. Yes, sir. 
Mr. Lennon. It would be interesting to the committee in following 
this matter if we could have inserted in the record of the hearings a 
summary, not of what transpired or took place at either of the ICO 
meetings, or the panel meetings, but a summary by calendar years 
showing the progressive increase in ICO meetings and panel meetings 
over the past 5 years. 
I know that was one of the anes we were concerned with early in 
our hearings—the objective that the committee was seeking.

HIGHLIGHTS OF ICO AND PANEL MEETINGS, CALENDAR YEAR 1963 
1. ICO MEETINGS 
March 1: Lengthy consideration was given to many phases of the long-range 
plan. Also discussed were the fiscal year 1965 national oceanographic program, 
the Manpower and Training Report, the Ocean Survey Plan, and international 
programs. 
April 18: The working group preparing a report on the ICO and ICAS joint 
sponsorship of air/sea interface research described its preliminary findings. 
One of the problems encountered by the group in drafting its program was the 
dissimilarity of approach used by oceanographers and meteorologists. The re- 
lationship between ICO and the Navy Instrumentation Center was reviewed. 
Other agenda items included U.S. representation to the forthcoming IOC Bureau 
meeting and the ICO long-range plan. 
June 3: Portions of this session were filmed for inclusion in the ICO movie, 
“Oceanography—Science for Survival.” Items discussed were the fiscal year 
1965 budget preview, the executive session with the Subcommittee on Oceanog- 
raphy of the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, ICO staff 
augmentation, and a proposed letter of ICO support for the nomination of Marston 
Sargent to replace Dr. Wooster at UNESCO. The concept of a quarterly report 
cataloging oceanographic research projects, through the Science Information 
Exchange of the Smithsonian Institution, was debated. The possibility of a 
joint NASCO-ICO meeting was considered. 
August 8: The fiscal year 1965 recommended budget was discussed at length 
in connection with Bureau of the Budget ceilings imposed upon BCF, Navy, 
USGS, and USBM. NSF described a $7 million deep coring (ocean floor) pro- 
gram it may sponsor. The relationship of the National Oceanographic Data 
Center to the ICO was again considered. Secretary Wakelin suggested that 
Pee nan nee member agencies provide the extra billets needed to augment
