I would prefer to have the Government show its interest by at least 

 appointing the committee rather than doing nothing for some time, 

 you see. 



Mr. Lennon. With that, I can agree, and that may be exactly what 

 the witness had in mind a few days ago when he suggested that the 

 first action of the Congress should be the creation of the National 

 Advisory Committee on the Oceans. 



He didn't say so but he might have been anticipating the inability of 

 the Congress, working with the executive branch of Government, to 

 enact legislation that would create not only NACO but also NOAA, 

 the governmental structure for the administrative organization. But 

 we have the responsibility to proceed in both directions, and if we are 

 in a stalemate in the future we will just have to move that way. 



Now, I would like to ask unanimous consent, gentlemen, that there 

 be placed in the record immediately preceding Mr. Clark's prepared 

 statement his career resume. 



I have had an opportunity to look over rather hurriedly but yet to 

 the extent that I am gratefully impressed with it, some material which 

 was submitted by Mr. Clark and by someone else, I assume, Mr. Stuart 

 Clement, Jr. 



Mr. Clakk. Yes, sir ; he is an associate of mine ; second vice presi- 

 dent. 



Mr. Lennox (continuing). "Data and Observations on Oceanog- 

 raphy," presented to the committee, dated May 28, 1969, and which 

 seems to me to be an analysis of the report of the Commission on 

 Marine Sciences, Engineering, and Resources. Is that a fair statement ? 



Mr. Clark. The first section is devoted to an analysis of the Com- 

 mission's report ; that is correct, sir. 



Mr. Lennon. And American Management Association considera- 

 tions in the field of oceanology operations, which meeting was held 

 in New York on February 26, 1969, at the Americana Hotel. 



I think it is a very fine document. I am so much impressed with it 

 because it covers so many areas that I would like to ask unanimous 

 consent of the committee that it be placed in the record following 

 your colloquy with the several members. 



Mr. Pelly. Mr. Chairman, I would like to second that motion. I 

 think it is a very fine document to add to our record. 



Mr. Lennon. There is only a small part of it that is related to finance 

 but that in turn is inextricably related to the development of marine 

 science as I read what is said here with respect to the various com- 

 panies which have considerable investments in the various marine 

 science fields. 



I will 'ask unanimous consent that it be placed in the record imme- 

 diately following the colloquy with the members of the committee.
