Mr. Lennon. My distinguished friend from Ohio, Mr. Feighan. 
Mr. Frerenan. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 
My presence at another subcommittee enabled me to be here only for 
the second portion of your prepared statement, and I want to tell you 
that I was very gratified to be here for that very short period of time, 
and I am going to read the entire statement. 
And I wart to congratulate you for yeur absolute honesty and in- 
teority and forthrightness, which I think is something that we need not 
only in Congress, but everywhere in this country. 
Thank you. 
Dr. CHapman._Thank you, sir. 
Mr. Lennon. Thank you, sir. 
Dr. Chapman, how many copies of this statement did you furnish 
the committee ? 
Dr. Cuarman. I furnished one, and Professor Clingan was kind 
enough this morning to run off a larger bunch, and I think that now 
counsel has all of them except one or two. 
Mr. Lennon. And you could run off more, if you had to? 
Mr. Curnean. Yes, sir. 
Mr. Lennon. Let me request you to send a copy of this statement to 
each member of the subcommittee, with a letter of transmittal, to be 
signed by me, in which I state that this was one of the most challenging 
and effective statements that we have been privileged to hear since we 
started these hearings. Asa personal favor I want each member to read 
it in its entirety, and to respond to me in writing that they have read it 
in its entirety. 
Dr. Cuapman. Sir, you know, this response from the committee is 
very gratifying, but it is also defeating. I thought I would stir up some 
controversy, and they would ask me a lot of questions. Tam loaded with 
answers. 
Mr. Lennon. We have not gotten to that yet. 
Dr. CHapman. I see. 
Mr. Lennon. In addition, counsel, I want you to send to the Di- 
rector of the Bureau of the Budget, and to the Vice President, and to 
the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Transportation, the Sec- 
retary of the Interior, and any other agency of the Federal Government 
that might be affected to any degree by the structure, such as in NOAA, 
a copy of this statement, over my signature, in a letter of transmittal 
in which I request that they respond to me in writing that they have 
read this statement, and asking for their comments, and telling them 
that is the least that I expect they can do, out of courtesy to this com- 
mittee and the Congress. 
Mr. Karru. Mr. Chairman, may I suggest the President’s Science 
Adviser, also ? 
Mr. Lennon. And to Dr. DuBridge. 
Mr. Jonrs. Mr. Chairman, I suggest HE W. 
Mr. Lennon. The Chairman of the so-called Ash Commission. 
Has anybody any other suggestions? 
Mr. Jonzs. I think HEW should receive one. 
Mr. Lennon. And also the head of the National Science Foundation, 
and just say that I expect them to read it and give me their comments, 
and I want a flat statement that they have read it in its entirety, and 
will not accept less.
