I am glad to have the benefit of your advice and counsel once again. 

 I recall your earlier statement that those of us on the east coast were so 

 afraid of this power on the west coast that we weren't too enthusiastic 

 about you, Bob, because we were afraid that everything would go out 

 to California. 



Now I think it is resolved happily for both the east and west coasts. 

 We appreciate your interest and support. 



Mr. Wilson. Thank you. I would not suggest that branch agencies 

 or activities might not be situated in various parts of the country, but 

 I wouldn't give you many votes for Houston at this time. 



Mr. Pelly. How about Woods Hole ? 



Mr. Wilson. Woods Hole is in a good place all right. 



Mr. Hathaway. Congressman Schadeberg. 



Mr. Schadeberg. I do want to welcome you. In the Bible, Paul makes 

 the statement that one man sows, and the other waters, and another 

 reaps. I hope you are in this long enough so that you can take part 

 in all of it. You have helped sow it and water it, and I hope all of us 

 will see the harvest. 



Mr. Wilson. The parable of the loaves and fishes comes to mind, 

 and if you remember what the Lord did with a couple of fish, he fed 

 a lot of people. 



I think we are in the same category. If we invest it properly we can 

 use the oceans to solve a lot of the needs. 



Mr. Schadeberg. Thank you. 



Mr. Karth. I would just like to make one statement. As long as you 

 have already divided this basket of fruit between the east and west 

 coasts, I suppose a gentleman like myself who comes in between those 

 two coasts ought to just grab up his earthly possessions and go home. 



Mr. Wilson. I would visualize a Humphrey-Karth memorial some- 

 where there in Minnesota. 



Mr. Schadeberg. As one from the Great Lakes, I am sure we won't 

 just let it happen that way, if the gentleman will yield. 



Mr. Karth. A memorial is something more than I had expected, 



Mr. Pelly. Don't forget the Coho salmon in the Great Lakes. The 

 fallout goes to all. 



Mr. Hathaway. Thank you, Bob. 



Mr. Wilson. Thank you, gentlemen. 



Mr. Hathaway. Our next witness is Dr. Walter Orr Roberts. 



I would like to call on Congressman Keith to introduce Dr. Roberts 

 to the members of the subcommittee. 



Mr. Keith. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 



Dr. Roberts has kindly furnished us, as is the custom, with a bio- 

 graphical sketch. 



I think a most interesting and noteworthy factor is that which has 

 been added, to the resume, perhaps for the purpose of this meeting. 



Down at the bottom, it says, "birthplace — West Bridgewater," which 

 is my hometown. The atmosphere in that community is largely respon- 

 sible for the success that he has had. 



His father was a close personal friend of my father. In fact, Walter 

 and I are almost like cousins. His dad was director of athletics and 

 coach of the football team, and ran a farm at the same time. The 

 weather had a lot to do with the fortunes of us all in the day-to-day ac- 

 tivity, at home, on the farm, and in the athletic world.
