ment budget. Rather, it presents an opportunity to make more efficient use of 
funds already committed. 
(2) An intriguing aspect of increasing our commitment to oceanic programs 
at this time is that it is essentially an investment and not an irreversible expendi- 
ture. With the private sector becoming increasingly involved, the returns to the 
Government through increased GNP with its associated increase in revenue from 
corporate and payroll income taxes, royalties, etc., should far exceed the “seed 
money” it would be expected to invest in the near term. 
(3) As the Commission pointed out, a National ocean agency could readily be 
accommodated into any new fundamental Government reorganization in the 
Executive Branch, if such were desired at a later time. 
(4) The National advisory committee should be created simultaneously with 
the setting up of a civilian marine oriented agency; however, if the designation 
of the Federal agency is long delayed, we should renew action toward creation 
of the advisory committee. 
(5) The special competence of the Navy must be utilized in the future Govern- 
ment reorganization and in all future planning. We believe that the Commission 
did recognize this need by recommending the establishment of a Federal inter- 
agency mechanism and by assigning senior policy officials from key Federal 
agencies, such as the Navy, to serve as non-voting participants on the National 
advisory committee.
