in the meantime members operating oceanographic 

 research vessels should invite young marine 

 scientists from other countries aboard for 

 training. 



11. In addition to these substantive recommendations, 

 two other items were considered. First, Dr. Jorgo Carraza 

 (Mexico) introduced a Joint Declaration by Argentina, Brazil, 

 Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, and the Dominican Republic 

 which invited the IOC to recommend that the Director-General 

 of U^ESCO provide increased funds for the support of oceano- 

 graphic research and training in Latin America. Dr. Cameron 

 (Canada), support by Vice Admiral Day (UK), stated that it 

 would not seem proper for the IOC to become a transmitting 

 agent for special areas in their desires for increased support 

 through budgets outside the purview of the IOC, Vice Admiral 

 Tchekourov (USSR) stated that the declaration deserved IOC 

 support. Dr. Bruun, Chairman, suggested that those delegations 

 interested meet under the Chairmanship of Captain de Frigata da 

 Silva (Brazil) to draft a resolution providing the IOC's 

 recommendations. The resolution which was subsequently 

 adopted was prepared during the working group session by 



Dr. Wakelin (USA), Dr. Revelle (USA), Dr. Wooster and 

 Dr. Milliard Roderick (U^ESCO), and recommended that the 

 South American countries include marine science projects in 

 their program requests for Technical Assistance; that these 

 countries should request Special Fund assistance for marine 

 science projects and that UNESCO consider the possibility of 

 an increase in the oceanographic budget to assist countries 

 participating in international cooperative oceanic programs. 



Second, Vice Admiral Tchekourov (USSR) introduced a 

 resolution bearing on UhESCO 1963-64 budget in oceanography and 

 relating to increases in assistance to Ghana, India, and Latin 

 American research in the vicinity of the Galapagos Islands. 

 This resolution was withdrawn in the Steering Committee and was 

 not acted on by the Commission. Documents relating to these 

 two items are included in Annex VII. 



12. Prior to the presentation by the Chairman, Dr. Bruun, 

 of the changes to the provisional Rules of Procedure recommended 

 by the Steering Committee, the Acting Director-General of 

 U^ESCO asked to speak to the plenary, 



M. Maheu explained his views regarding the relation- 

 ship between the IOC and UbESCO, pointing out that he wished 

 the IOC to operate with the maximum independence possible
