Mr. Drewry, Dr. Fye, this synopsis is on flic lettftrhead of tlie Ma- 

 rine Technology Society. Is this a position of the Marine Teclmology 

 Society or is this just your own position or just Woods Hole? 



Dr. Fye. No; Mr. Chairman 'and Mr. Counsel. That was published 

 as a part, as you see there, of the MTS Notes, not because I was presi- 

 dent-elect, but because they thought they would like to publish it. It 

 was the only convenient copy. I can send you, of course, tlie full text 

 which will be on a Woods Hole heading. It is by no means the position 

 of the society. It did spark some very interesting and I think important 

 discussions within the society, but it is entirely my own personal 

 writing. 



Mr. Drewry. I thought that point should be cleared up on the 

 record. 



Tliank you. 



Mr. Downing. Thank you, Dr. Fye. You have made a very impor- 

 tant contribution.
