The special subcommittee met at 10 a.m., pursuant to notice, at the University of Rhode Island, Kingston, R.I., Senator Claiborne Pell (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senator Pell (presiding), and Fitzhugh Green, special assistant to Senator Pell. Senator PELL. This morning we begin hearings by the Special Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare on a bill to establish sea grant colleges and programs. I think it fitting as we get started to recognize the fact that one of our senior members of our committee died a couple of days ago. I know I express the regret and grief of my colleagues at the death of Senator McNamara whose body is being flown out to his own State today. The other members of the subcommittee are: Senator Morse of Oregon, Senator Nelson of Wisconsin, Senator Kennedy of Massachusetts, Senator Javits of New York and Senator Murphy of California. All of these Senators are very interested in oceanology and the subject matter to be discussed, either by virtue of being on the Great Lakes, or the Atlantic, or the Pacific Ocean. They have a great interest from their States' point of view and they will be participating in the subcommittee hearings when we are in Washington." As chairman of this subcommittee, I welcome with pleasure you distinguished witnesses who bring so much expert knowledge to this vital subject today. I am delighted, too, that we can initiate our study of S. 2439 at the University of Rhode Island which has already established an excellent record of training and research in oceanology. This is a very appropriate spot for planning ocean-oriented programs in the colleges of this nation-programs designed to exploit in a practical sense the rich resources and opportunities of the seas and the knowledge we already have. (The text of the bill S. 2439 follows:) 1 89TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION S. 2439 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES August 19 (legislative day, August 18), 1965 Mr. PELL introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare A BILL To amend the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended, so as to authorize the establishment and operation of sea grant colleges and programs by initiating and supporting programs of education, training, and research in the marine sciences and a program of advisory services relating to activities in the marine sciences, to facilitate the use of the submerged lands of the Outer Continental Shelf by participants carrying out these programs, and for other purposes. 1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 3 4 SHORT TITLE SECTION 1. This Act may be cited as the "National 5 Sea Grant College and Program Act of 1965". 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2 DECLARATION OF PURPOSE SEC. 2. The Congress hereby finds and declares— (a) that marine resources, including animal and vegetable life and mineral wealth, constitute a far-reach ing and largely untapped asset of immense potential significance to the United States; and (b) that it is in the national interest of the United States to develop the skilled manpower, including scientists, engineers and technicians, and the facilities and equipment necessary for the exploitation of these resources; and (c) that aquaculture, as with agriculture on land, and the gainful use of marine resources can substantially benefit the United States by providing greater economic opportunities, including expanded employment and trade; new sources of food; new means for the utilization of water, both salt and fresh; and other valu able substances, such as those contained in the vast mineral deposits of the marine environment, advantageous to United States citizens and to the Nation's posi21 tion in the world; and 20 22 23 24 25 (d) that, in order to implement these findings, the Federal Government should support sea grant colleges and programs by (1) initiating and supporting programs at sea |
