LEG! III - MANILA TO SINGAPORE! 



Left Manila March 13, arrived Singapore March 20. 



Since no word had been received from scientists or officials at Jesselton, 

 this previously planned stop had been eliminated. In addition to regular 

 underway operations, two extra days of special investigations of the deep 

 and rise northwest of North Borneo were scheduled. Details were worked 

 out with Dr.' Robert Burns (C&GS) and Dr. Robert Fisher (Scripps). The 

 ARGO worked in this area in June 1962, and details of their work must be 

 known before PIONEER'S could be fully planned. At least one marine 

 scientist from the Philippines was aboard to Singapore as an observer. 

 One day of open house was held at Singapore,

LEG IV - SINGAPORE TO CALCUTTA 



Leave Singapore March 2k } arrive Calcutta April 20. 



No word has been received from Mr. H. M. Jeremiah of the National SCOR 

 Committee for Malaya (now Malaysia), but it is possible that one Malaysian 

 scientist may be aboard on this leg. 



On leaving Singapore the routine underway observations will be supplemented 

 by routine sampling with the HOE standard net in accordance with the HOE 

 Biological Program. In the Malacca Straits there will be a special program 

 of sediment coring and - where practical - rock dredging. This program is 

 planned to determine sediment and rock characteristics in those portions of 

 the Straits not sampled by the Naval Oceanographic Office's work in this area-. 

 The detailed track in this area is being planned with Mr. George Keller (N00) 

 who will join the ship at Singapore specifically for this work in the Malacca 

 Straits .
