Remarks: In addition to in- 
house ocean data activities, 
the AEC (through its Division 
of Biomedical and Environ- 
mental Research) expends 
approximately $5,000,000 on 
research and surveys relating 
to marine radioactivity. These 
contracts, with both universi- 
ties and private organizations, 
yield significant marine data 
which arrive in the public 
domain through the primary 
research journals and through 
data reports submitted to the 
National Technical Informa- 
tion Service. In fiscal year 
1974, specific steps were 
taken to broaden the sub- 
mission of data and data in- 
ventories to the Environ- 
mental Data Service in ac- 
cordance with the ICMSE 
policy statement on marine 
science and engineering data.
