their extension service, their departments of pure and applied science have over the years developed one of the smoothest and most efficient operations in history in that very difficult task of bringing the knowledge and the discoveries of science to immediate and practical application. Furthermore, through the extension service and the experiment station they have developed efficient feedback mechanisms whereby the problems of the farmers are brought back to the laboratory for study and solution. It is this aspect of the land grant college movement we wish to emulate. FUNDING THE SEA GRANT PROGRAM We believe that at least an important fraction of the sea grant college support should be in the form of institutional grants. We believe that continual, broadbased support, such as that on which the colleges of agriculture were originally based, is important for the success of this program. Not all funds, however, should be awarded on an institutional basis. The remainder could go to special projects, either at existing sea-grant colleges or to other universities elsewhere in the country on a competitive basis. John A.

CHANGES SUGGESTED BY THE NATIONAL SEA GRANT COLLEGE COMMITTEE ON S. 2439 Page 2, line 22 through and including line 24 should be deleted and replaced by: "(d) that the concept of the Sea Grant College: an institution of higher learning devoted to increasing our nation's utilization of the world's marine resources through activities in the area of education, public service, and research; and would relate these activities to the natural sciences which underlie them; to the social sciences, economics, sociology, psychology, political science and law, as they are affected by and, in turn, affect the occupation of the sea, is a concept which could accomplish the goals as set forth in (a), (b), and (c) above; and" Page 2, line 25 and extending to page 3 and line 1. Replace the words "sea grant colleges" with: qualified institutions.
