Mr. Lennon. Thank you, Doctor. Your testimony is both pertinent 
and helpful to the problems that the committee faces. 
You do not say in so many words that you oppose a Government 
structure such as recommended by the Stratton Commission, as I 
understand your statement, sir. Do you or do you not believe that that 
is the way that we should take our first small step ? 
Dr. Austrry. I do believe, sir, that a consolidation of a number of 
the aspects of the marine activities of the Federal Government is in 
order. As to the exact type, I reserve judgment. 
Mr. Lennon. As to what was the last, sir? 
Dr. Austin. As to the exact configuration of such a consolidation, I 
reserve judgment. 
Mr. Lennon. What would you suggest, Doctor, should be the first 
step in a new Government structure? In other words, which com- 
ponents of the several agencies of the Federal Government which are 
involved in the broad spectrum of the marine sciences should be 
brought together in a Government structure? 
You know what the Commission has reported. How do you differ 
from the Commission’s report as to which components of the various 
Government agencies should be put in the new Government structure 
referred to as NOAA? 
Dr. Austin. It would seem that the most efficient consolidation 
would be those agencies, those activities that have a commonality. 
Mr. Lennon. Well, Doctor, with your broad background, suppose 
you, for the record, specifically identify them, if you could, in general 
terms for the benefit of the members of the committee and the benefit 
of counsel, particularly, and myself.
