SUBCOMMITTEE ON OCEANOGRAPHY, 
Washington, D.C. 
The subcommittee met at 10:15 a.m., pursuant to adjournment, in 
room 219, Cannon House Office Building, Hon. Alton Lennon (chair- 
man of the subcommittee) presiding. 
Mr. Lennon. The committee will come to order. 
The hearings will be resumed at this point. 
We have with us today, Capt. T. K. Treadwell, who is the Panel 
Chairman on Ships and Facilities to support the fiscal 1965 ocean- 
ographic program. 
Captain, we are delighted to have you. We apologize for the ab- 
sence of so many members of the subcommittee, but we run into these 
inevitable conflicts with other committees where they are in executive 
session, voting out bills, and taking other official activity. 
You have a prepared statement, sir. Is it your desire to read the 
statement in full, or to go through and comment on the more pertinent 
points and then put the statement in the record? Whatever is your 
choice, we will be glad to accede to your request, sir. 
STATEMENT OF CAPT. T. K. TREADWELL, U.S. NAVY, CHAIRMAN, 
SHIPS PANEL OF THE INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE ON OCEAN- 
CGRAPHY 
Captain Treapwrert. Mr. Chairman, the statement consists prin- 
cipally of a large number of tables which I think would be better en- 
tered in the record. 
Mr. Lennon. I see your statement is not as long as I guessed when 
I picked it up. Suppose you stay with the statement and then take 
as much time as you like. 
Captain Treapweti. The textual part summarizes the table. I 
think if I stuck with that and then answered questions following it? 
Mr. Lennon. You may proceed. 
Captain Treapwetu. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to be 
here on behalf of the ICO’s Ships Panel. 
This Panel is made up of representatives from the major agencies 
involved in ship construction and operations—Commerce, Interior, 
National Science Foundation, Navy, and Treasury. Its membership 
includes a wide range of experts, oceanographers, hydrographers, ship 
designers, safety experts, and ship operators.
