In addition to his presentations to these groups, the Director has served as Chairman of 
the Joint ICO -ICAS (Interagency Committee on Oceanography — Interdepartmental Committee 
on Atmospheric Sciences) ad hoc Panel on Ocean-Atmosphere Research, has been an observer on 
many of the committees of the ICO and has served as a member of the Intergovernmental Oceano- 
graphic Commission (IOC) working group on data exchanges. Members of the staff have presented 
papers to the Navy Research and Development Clinic, the American Society of Limnology and 
Oceanography Sixth Conference on Great Lakes Research, and the Atlantic Estuarine Research 
Society. Members of the staff have contributed or have started articles or material for such publica- 
tions as the Mariners Weather Log, the American Zoologist, the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science 
and Technology Yearbook, a book on hydrospace, and the Hidaka Memorial Volume. The Director 
and two members of the staff were asked by the American Geophysicai Union to edit technically 
English translations of three Russian scientific volumes. 
Letters have been sent to those government agencies with an interest in oceanography, but 
which are not sponsors of the NODC, inquiring as to the possibility of their becoming sponsors. 
By the end of Fiscal Year 1963, three had responded affirmatively. The Coast Guard and the 
Geological Survey will become sponsors beginning in FY-64, and the Beach Erosion Board will become 
one of the sponsors of the NODC in FY-65.
