Chairman, Joint ICO/ICAS Ad Hoc Panel 
on Air=-Sea Interaction 
National Oceanographic Data Center 
Washington, D, C. 
Dear Doctor Jacobs: 
The Joint ICO/ICAS Ad Hoc Panel on Air-Sea Interaction, of 
which you are Chairman, is hereby dissolved as a formal 
agency of the Interagency Committee for Oceanography and the 
Interdepartmental Committee for Atmospheric Sciences, 
You and your panel are to be commended for the tremendous 
undertaking represented by your "Working Draft National 
Program, Ocean=Atmospheric Research" of March 1963, and 
your "National Program, Ocean-Atmospheric Research, Fiscal 
Year 1965" of October 4, 1963. Both documents have accom- 
plished much toward identifying the unique problems in the 
air-sea interaction area and providing the basis for further 
agency programing. 
It is hoped that the members of your panel will be available 
as individuals to assist the new Joint ICO/ICAS Air-Sea 
Interaction Panel and the Sea—Air Interaction Laboratory of 
the Department of Commerce in the development of the 
Federally-supported program. 
James H. Wakelin, Jr. J. Herbert Hollomon 
Chairman, Interagency Chairman, Interdepartmental
