sitywide Institute of Marine Resources, both parts of the University 
of California. I have been engaged in scientific research, resources 
management, and various other aspects of ocean affairs at the State, 
national, and international levels during the past 35 years. I have 
already submitted a summary of my long and checkered career. 
Mr. Petiy. Mr. Chairman, may I interrupt at that point. I want to 
say that, representing the Univer sity of Washington, the Puget Sound 
area, I am particularly conscious of the important references in your 
resume, and I for one am very proud of all the University of Washing- 
ton eraduates and those who are connected with it. I think they sort of 
monopolize the field of fisheries and oceanography. I think we have 
something in common, Doctor. 
Dr. Scrranrer. Thank you very much, Mr. Pelly. I am also glad to 
put ina plug for my alma mater. In fact, until a few years ago pr ac- 
tically all the oceanographers in the United States came from the Uni- 
versity of Washington, Woods Hole, or Scripps, because that is all the 
oceanographic institutions there were in those days; and nearly all of 
the fisheries experts came from the University of Washington. 
Mr. Petty. We have a very fine new building there to house the 
Oceanography ‘Department, and I have visited there a number of times 
and feel I have a very important responsibility in representing that 
great educational institution. 
Dr. Scuanrer. I had an opportunity recently to lecture there. You 
also have a new Center in Quantitative Science in Fisheries, Forestry 
and Wildlife, that I had the pleasure of lecturing at just recently. 
Mr. Downtne. Hopefully, though, this bill that you are speaking 0” 
will relieve the monopoly that you now have. 
Dr. Scuarrer. I don’t think we have a monopoly any more. All we 
try to do is stay ahead. 
Mr. Petry. The burden has been pretty heavy on our shoulders, 
but we are glad to share it with others. 
Dr. Scrarrer. I have outlined in my formal statement, Mr. Chair- 
man, some of the particular experience that I have had, and things 
that T am presently engaged in, that are particularly pertinent to the 
topics that I want to ‘talk about today. However, if it is agreeable 
with vou, Mr. ‘Chairman, rather than reading the full statement, per- 
haps it would be better to submit it for the record and just to sum- 
marize the highlights of the contents. 
Mr. Downtnc. That would be perfectly all ee
