128 NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 
The cost of the equipment and the cost of installation would be paid 
for by the Navy, the observations themselves would be made by the 
regular crew on board ship. So far, the only point of discussion is 
whether or not this can be done by the crew without going into addi- 
tional cost for the company concerned. But I believe that this can 
be worked out. 
Mr. Drewry. Now, you say you have talked to three companies and 
they have shown interest. Do you have any objection to mentioning 
the names of the companies? 
Captain TreapweEtL. I do not have them here. I can provide them 
for the record. As I say, we approached them through the Merchant 
Marine Institute and they recommended about 40 member companies 
as a pilot project. We have written to these 40 companies and of the 
5 responses we have received, 4 were favorable and 1, unfortunately, 
was unfavorable. JI can provide further information on that. 
Mr. Drewry. I would like to have that, Mr. Chairman, if I may.
