 A two-stage piston corer and rotating piston 

 corer are being designed to obtain longer cores 

 and for recover\ of hard rock; inexpensix e deep- 

 sea free \ehicles are being de\eloped for col-

 and measining temperature. 



In FY 1967, NSF will allocate approximately 

 15% of their total grants for research in oceanog- 

 raphy to instrinnentation for pri\ate and academic 

 institutions, and other organizations. This amoiuit 

 ($400,000) is not included in the Instrumentation 



Budget. In addition NSF will reserve a portion 

 of their recipients' grants to procure instru- 

 ments from industry for their research programs.
