STATEMENT oF Amor L. LANE, CHAIRMAN, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NSIA OcEAN 
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY COMMITTEE (NSIA/OSTAC) 
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee on Oceanography : Dr. Dayton 
Clewell, Chairman of the Ocean Science and Technology Advisory Committee 
of the National Security Industrial Association, has just reviewed briefly the 
purpose and history of the NSIA and some of the key activities of our Advisory 
Comunittee. 
It is recognized that industry has a responsibility to contribute its views on the 
optimum use and development of ocean resources. In view of this and our past 
and continuing involvement in recommendations concerning the National ocean 
program and the need for Government reorganization, we are especially honored 
to have the privilege at this time of making several specific comments on the 
Government organization recommendations found in the Report of the 
Commission on Marine Science, Engineering and Resources. 
These comments on organization represent the views of the Executive Com- 
mittee of NSIA’s Ocean Science and Technology Advisory Committee (OSTAC). 
T speak to you today in my role as Chairman of this Executive Committee. A 
list of the members of the Hxecutive Committee is enclosed. In reaching our 
conclusions, we attempted, whenever time permitted, to consult with the full 
membership of our five industry panels of OSTAC. These panels include those 
of the petroleum, mining, fishing, recreation and chemical industries. However, 
the views presented here do not necessarily coincide in every detail with those 
of all of the individual members or companies they represent. 
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE, 
NATIONAL OCEAN AGENCY AND THE INTERAGENCY MECHANISM 
% 
First, we will discuss the three fundamental recommendations concerning the 
Executive Department: (a) a National advisory committe, (b) a National 
ocean agency, and (c) a Federal interagency mechanism. 
A national advisory committee 
OSTAC agrees with the Commission’s recommendations that a National ad- 
visory committee for the oceans should be established. In our opinion, the major 
functions of the committee should be as follows: 
To advise the President, the Congress and a National ocean agency, 
along with other Government agencies, on ocean related activities: and 
To submit periodically to the President and the Congress on assessment 
of the National ocean program, including a review of the activities of a 
National ocean agency.
