Mr. Lennon. I am glad to hear you say it is your judgment that the 
legislation reported out of this full committee, and subsequently to the 
full committee of the House, meets at present the objectives of the 
ICO and the Federal Council. 
You disturb me, however, with your statement, or your remarks at 
the conclusion of your statement, that the oceanographic effort may be 
falling off, soto speak. I do not recall the exact terminology you used, 
but it appeared in the latter part of your statement. 
What is your suggestion—I guess you are in a better position now 
since you are leaving the Navy Department to give us an opinion—as 
to how that might be helped by either this committee, or any individual 
of the committee, or the Congress ? 
What is the way to correct that diminution of funds for the oceano- 
graphic effort ? 
Dr. Waxeitin. This is the onty committee with which we, as mem- 
bers of ICO, have been connected which has taken an overal! look at 
our national program. When I have been before Mr. Mahon’s com- 
mittee, their interest in oceanography has always been very intense, 
but as part of the antisubmarine warfare R. & D. program, which is, 
of course, appropriate to the Department of the Navy. 
It would help us greatly if we could tell the national oceanographic 
program story to more committees of the House and the Senate who 
would look with us at the total program and not at the particular 
agency for whom an appropriation or a hearing is engaged. 
Mr. Lennon. Doctor, is it the practice for a department or agency 
or bureau to bring to the Federal Council, and then subsequently to 
the ICO, its projected figures for a particular fiscal year in the field 
of oceanography ? 
Dr. WAKELIN. Yes. 
Mr. Lennon. In other words, it goes in their respective requests 
for a budget, but then they come back to you for your consideration 
and allocation of the total ? : 
Dr. Waxetin. No; when this finally goes through the Federal 
Council for approval, the next stage is a review by the Bureau of the 
Budget of the submissions of each of the agencies and departments 
who comprise the program. This is another area in which we have 
beei most fortunate in having Mr. E. L. Dillon, of the Bureau of the 
Budget, work with us throughout the entire year, so he knows the 
whole story of the national program as well as the agencies submitting 
their requests through their secretaries and directors to the Bureau 
of the Budget.
