SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION SUMMARY AND HIGHLIGHT MEMORANDUM Fiscal Year 1966

The Smithsonian Institution was established by the Act of August 10, 1846 "for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men. "

The Institution, under the Salaries and Expenses Appropriation , administers three museums, the Museum of History and Technology, the Museum of Natural History, (referred to in combination as the United States National Museum), and the National Air Museum; four scientific organizations, the Astrophysical Observatory, the Office of Anthropological Research, the Canal Zone Biological Area, and the research activities of the United States National Museum; three art galleries, the Freer Gallery of Art, the National Collection of Fine Arts, and the National Portrait Gallery; the Armed Forces Museum Advisory Board; and the International Exchange Service.

The Institution is responsible for the operation and maintenance of seven main exhibition buildings, namely, the Museum of History and Technology, the Museum of Natural History, the Arts and Industries Building, the Smithsonian Building, National Air and Space Museum, the Galleries of the National Portrait Gallery and the National Collection of Fine Arts, and the Freer Gallery of Art; the Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts; the Canal Zone Biological Area; the River Basin Surveys in

A-l

Lincoln, Nebraska; a storage facility at Silver Hill, Maryland; and an exhibits laboratory.

To achieve its broad objective,; "to increase knowledge, " the Institution maintains public exhibits representative of the arts, American history, aeronautics and space exploration, anthropology, geology, technology, and biology; preserves for reference and study over 59 million valuable items of scientific, cultural, and historical interest; performs fundamental research; publishes the results of studies, explorations, and investigations; and participates in the international exchange of scientifi cultural, and historical literature.

Public interest in museums and art galleries is at an unprecedented high level. The number of visitors in the newly opened Museum of History and Technology, alone, was 4, 546, 313 in the first eight months since its dedication in January 1964. This presages an annual attendance of 5 to 6 million visitors who come from every State in the Union. The former record for a single building was 3, 500, 000. Our total attendance, including that of the National Zoological Park, exceeded 14 million visitors in 1964. This represents an increase of more than 503, 000 over the previous year, 1963, for the museum complex on the Mall. During the past year the staff of the Institution answered approximately 500, 000 inquiries for scientific, historic, and technical information.

The 1966 estimates of appropriation are predicated on carrying out the authorized purposes of the Institution at a level of investment commensurate with the national need for scientific, cultural, and historical knowledge. It is urgently requested, therefore, that funds be provided for the Smithsonian's programs in the amounts justified.

Under the Salaries and Expenses Appropriation funds are requested: To maintain the existing establishment and programs for

the increase of knowledge; To provide professional, administrative, and custodial staff

for new laboratories, museums, and art galleries; To increase knowledge through cooperative research, scholarly

conferences, and training programs; To increase our attainments in scientific research; and To increase our efforts in historical research and art education. Provision has also been made in the 1966 estimates of appropriation for:

Restoration and Renovation of Buildings

. To improve the Smithsonian Institution building for public

exhibition, curatorial, and administrative uses by renovating a portion of the third floor, adding a partial fourth floor, installing an elevator, and air conditioning the building;

EXPLANATION AND JUSTIFICATION OF CHANGE IN APPROPRIATION LANGUAGE

The phrase "not to exceed $35, 000 for" is deleted in connection with expenses for services as authorized by section 15 of the Act of August 2, 1946 (5 U.S. C. 55a). It is recommended that the provision for consultants be based on the amounts justified and allowed for this purpose and that the arbitrary limitation of $35, 000 carried over from prior years be eliminated.

The phrase "for attendance at meetings concerned with activities \ of the Institution" is inserted to clarify the authority to pay conference expenses.

The phrase "not to exceed $5,000 for official reception and representation expenses" is included to provide the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution a small sum for the expenses of official entertainment.

The phrase "and for the expenses of the Smithson Bicentennial, including not to exceed $80, 000 for reception and representation is inserted to obtain authority to pay expenses related to the Bicentennial Observance to be held in September 1965. This language will be deleted in fiscal year 1967.

MUSEUM OPERATIONS

An increase of $ 3, 257, 200 will be required to continue to operate the Smithsonian Institution' s museum complex.

United States National Museum

In the United States National Museum the Institution maintains public exhibits of material collected by its own scientists and scholars, together ■with much more obtained through other Government agencies and by gifts and loans from individuals, making in all nearly fifty-nine million cataloged specimens. These constitute the foremost collection in the world of all manner of objects relating to natural history, anthropology, geology, paleontology, engineering and industries, graphic arts, numismatics, philajtely, culture, and technological development of the United States. In addition, the displays include many valuable series from other countries. The museums are visited each year by over ten million people. Need for increase / .

The United States National Museum will require $590, 000 additional for fiscal year 1966. Preparation and installation of exhibits in the new Museum of History and Technology of the United States National Museum will continue in fiscal year 1966. It is expected that at least 10 additional halls will be opened to the public in that year. Additional funds are needed so that the Museum of History and Technology can progress in its traditional and forward-looking programs in research, education, selective collecting, and publication; and maintain its scholarly character and leading position among museums of the world.

B-10

Additional curators are required to conduct historical research related to planning and authenticating additional scholarly exhibits, to administer and document the growing collections, and to supervise the museum's public services which have increased greatly since the opening of the new Museum of History and Technology building. Technicians, specialists, and clerical employees are needed to support the curators in their professional work.

Curators need more travel funds to examine collections and exhibits being offered with increasing frequency; to attend professional scientific meetings where, in addition to participating in meetings, they can consult with historians, scientists, and engineers on the selection, accession, and preservation of objects and documents to record historical developments; and to meet with historians on new programs of museum-oriented research stimulated by the new Museum of History and Technology.

Additional funds are needed to complete exhibits in the new Museum of History and Technology, including restoration of early musical instruments, vehicles, and paintings; dismantling, repair, and re-erection of early machines, contracting with specialists to research and report on historical and scientific developments; preparation of specifications of models of machines, vehicles, science demonstrations, and early instruments; design and specifications for special exhibition cases and other exhibition units; fees to experts and authorities for lectures and to musicians for demonstration of restored early musical instruments in the collections; supplies and materials such as lumber, steel, paints ; chemicals, office supplies, cleaning materials, glass, plastics; exhibition bases, panels,, fixtures, models, dioramas, and exhibition objects.

R_ l l

Plan of work

To employ 15 curators, 1 technical writer, 16 museum specialists / and technicians, 10 typists and stenographers, and 4 aids (46 positions-$338, 000) and to provide personnel benefits ($24, 500); travel ($7, 500); other services ($35,000); supplies and materials ($20,000); and

equipment ($165, 000) $590, 000

National Air Museum

The National Air Museum has in its custody probably the world's greatest collection of aircraft, instruments, and other objects related to aviation. The emphasis on space flights has greatly increased the Air Museum's responsibilities to record space history and properly preserve space flight equipment. At present nearly all the great treasures of this museum are in storage. Many of these will be exhibited in the proposed new National Air and Space Museum when it is completed. Planning for the construction of this new building will be completed in 1965 and con-struction funds are being requested in 1966. The limited number of objects now exhibited in the temporary hangar-type building are most popular and attracted 1, 854, 000 visitors in fiscal year 1964. Need for increase

An increase of $604, 000 is required for the National Air Museum's exhibit planning program which includes the selection of specimens to be displayed and areas for display, determination of methods of installations and display, scheduling exhibits preparation, and for the restoration and preservation of historic aircraft, engines, and accessories in preparation for exhibition when the proposed new National Air and Space Museum is completed.

B-12

Included among the requested new staff members are exhibits specialists and technicians. Additional travel funds will permit new curators to inspect potential collections offered as additions to the collec = tions and to attend and participate in meetings of professional, scientific, and historical societies.

More funds are required to contract with experts and exhibits specialists and for repairs to heavy-duty handling equipment.

The additional staff, the newly-established exhibits laboratory, and the restoration and preservation department will require additional supplies and equipment. Of the equipment increases, $131, 000 will be nonrecurring, Plan of work

To employ 1 assistant director of the National Air and Space Museum, 4 exhibits specialists, 3 curators, 2 cabinetmakers s 11 technicians, 8 clerks and stenographers, 15 aircraft mechanics and 5 helpers (49 positions-$292, 400); and to provide personnel benefits ($21, 600); travel ($6, 000); other services ($91, 000); supplies and materials ($26, 000); and equip-

ment ($167, 000) . $604 : 000

National Armed Forces Museum Advisory Board

The National Armed Forces Museum Advisory Board was established by Act of August 30, 1961, which also authorized expansion of the Smithsonian Institution's facilities for portraying the contributions of the Armed Forces of the United States. The current objective of the Board is to assist the Board of Regents by preparing recommendations for submission to the Congress with regard to (a) acquiring lands and buildings in and

B-13

.

.

near the District of Columbia for the display of military and naval collections; and (b) acquiring for the collections of the Smithsonian Institution unique military objects. Need for increase

An increase of $69, 200 is required to carry out the above objectives. Funds are needed to employ additional staff who will pursue a comprehensive investigation of lands in the District of Columbia in terms of their adaptability to the reconstruction of historic military and naval facilities and for the display of significant collections of objects that are not appropriate for Smithsonian military exhibits on the Mall.

Additional travel funds are required for visits by staff members to numerous Armed Forces installations and agencies to discover military objects which are especially appropriate for the collections and to initiate action for acquiring such objects in advance of their deterioration or destruction. Included in this request are increases for contractual services for further detailed site studies of lands suitable for the display of military collections. Funds are included also for office supplies and materials and for the nucleus of a library. Plan of work

To employ 2 curators and 1 typist (3 positions-$23, 000) and to provide personnel benefits ($1, 700); travel ($2 S 200); other services ($37 s 000); supplies and materials ($300); and equipment ($5, 000) . . . $69, 200

.___ ART GALLERY OPERATIONS

The Freer Gallery of Art, the National Collection of Fine Arts, and the National Portrait Gallery are maintained by the Smithsonian Institution under this appropriation.

An increase of $1, 881, 100 is required in fiscal year 1966 for additional staff, equipment, and related expenses necessary for the National Collection of Fine Arts and the National Portrait Gallery to prepare to occupy the F Street Building after its renovation; and for the development of the public art services assigned to their respective responsibilities, including the expansion of the present traveling exhibition program in order to supply schools, community groups, and community centers throughout the states with a variety of art and educational material through the use of the artmobiles and other exhibition media.

It is anticipated that the remodeling of the F Street Building will be completed in November 1966. The time is short for the planning, assembly, and preparation of exhibits. Sharply accelerated activity must take place in fiscal year 1966. Entire new museum departments must be developed in that year. Expansion of staff, services, facilities, and exhibition material must be provided in order that the Smithsonian will have firm grounds on which to launch a major campaign for private contributions of works of art.

Before the new Gallery can be opened to the public, there must be a major refurbishing and expansion of the present Government collections and also, most critically, the supplementation of these collections by millions of dollars' worth of art gifts and loans. Because of the

\

B-15

size of the total project as well as the time element involved, this must be regarded as a major undertaking of unprecedented importance to the Institution's responsibilities in these fields of history and culture.

Freer Gallery of Art

The Freer Gallery of Art was established for the display of great collections of art and as a center for the specialized study of the art of the Far East and the Middle East. Need for increase

An increase of $15, 000 is requested for the Freer Gallery of Art to handle the increasing workload in the slide-loan service and the curatorial department of Chinese Art. Plan of work

To employ 1 library assistant, 1 secretary, and 1 clerk-typist (3 positions - $14, 000) and to provide personnel benefits ($1, 000). ... $1 5, 000

National Collection of Fine Arts

The National Collection of Fine Arts, a bureau of the Smithsonian, is the oldest gallery of art directly related to the United States Government. The bureau is maintained for the statutory purposes of conserving and exhibiting art belonging to the Government, the development of appreciation of American art of the past, and the encouragement of contemporary creative effort. Many notable paintings, largely by distinguished Americans, have been added to the national collections under the care of the National Collection of Fine Arts, and restoration of some of these works has been carried on. Despite many generous gifts of art by private citizens, the collections are far from presenting a broadly representative survey of American art. The functions of the bureau

B-J

which have to do with education and encouragement of creative effort have been implemented to a very small extent, though the one activity which has been systematically developed--the Traveling Exhibition Service—has proven most successful and valuable. Need for increase

An increase of $324, 100 is requested for the National Collection of Fine Arts for the increased activity in preparation of the valuable works of art for exhibition in the remodeled F Street Building, and for the development of the physical plant and staff needed to plan and administer the expanded activities. The increase is needed to provide for the staff and the material required to record, examine, and maintain the valuable works of art; purchase paintings and frames, cases, and other exhibition appurtenances, and prepare educational material which will assure the broadest and fullest use of the collections. Special equipment and facilities for the analysis, study, and display of art must be acquired as soon as possible. Additional office and workroom materials are needed to establish a conservation department, to care for the restoration of paintings, prints, drawings, and objects of stone, metal, and wood.

While active preparation for the move to the new Gallery is in progress, the bureau must continue its assigned public services in connection with the exhibition of art and furnishing of information. These valuable services that have been inadequately supported in the past now require increased funds in order to perform the national service of promoting appreciation and understanding of art as authorized by the Act of May 17, 1938.

B-17

Plan of work

To employ 1 special assistant, 2 curators, 1 administrative officer, 1 conservator, 1 librarian, 1 assistant curator, 1 photographer, 1 registrar, 1 information specialist, 5 museum aids, 2 clerical assistants, and 1 library assistant (18 positions - $127, 800) and to provide personnel benefits ($9, 300); travel ($9, 200); other services ($72, 000); supplies and materials ($20, 800); and equipment ($85, 000). ..... $324, 100

Artmob iles and Packaged Exhibits

An Office of Community Exhibits will be established pursuant to existing statutory authority under the leadership of the National Collection of Fine Arts. This office will administer programs for the circulation of artmobiles and packaged exhibits with the cooperation of regional museums and state organizations. The special emphasis of this office will be to provide low cost exhibitions and materials for wide use in schools, libraries, and other community centers so that instruction and appreciation of the fine arts can be facilitated throughout the country. The artmobile offers the greatest ease of installation, the greatest security to the objects, and the best-controlled display conditions.

The Office of Community Exhibits will also plan and develop crated exhibits for circulation through schools and libraries. A goal of 10 such exhibits is proposed for the first year, to be followed by 20 additional exhibits each year until a total of at least 100 shows are in circulation throughout the United States.

»

To support the Office of Community Exhibits and provide the means to preserve, study, and present publicly America's art heritage, plans have been developed to collect material concerning American art, provide study facilities, conserve Government-owned art in danger of serious damage or destruction, and produce educational materials, brochures, reproductions, slides, filmstrips, and lectures needed by schools and art centers. In addition, the statutory purpose of encouraging contemporary creative effort will be carried out by initiating studies and providing limited support to selected programs of museums and other organizations offering awards and scholarships, and by encouragement of commissions for superior public art.

The functions planned for the National Collection of Fine Arts amount to a recognition of the full responsibilities assigned that bureau by statute. The program has been deferred in years past primarily because of the crippling lack of an adequate building to serve as the home for the National Collection of Fine Arts. The authorized acquisition and renovation of the original Patent Office Building has now made feasible the achievement of the purposes for which the National Collection of Fine Arts was instituted by the Congress. Need for increase

An increase of $1, 000, 000 is requested for the expansion of the present exhibition program in order to furnish schools, community groups, and local centers with a variety of art and educational materials--painting, sculpture, architecture, graphic arts, photography, and industrial arts. Staff members will be required to travel extensively throughout the United States to collect information and visit

B-19

museums. A wide variety of information on art, especially the National collections and exhibits, will be published and made available at both a scholarly and popular level. The American Art survey presented by the Smithsonian will be strengthened through purchases. Funds are required to contract for the development of art exhibitions at a community level through the use of artmobiles; operation and maintenance of the art-mobiles; restoration and preservation of art belonging to the Government; and the establishment of an American Art Study Center.

The program contemplates acquisition of automotive equipment (truck-trailers) without cost to the Government. Should such gifts not materialize, the program would be adjusted accordingly, in order to provide a balanced effort including the purchase of equipment. Plan of work

To employ 1 program director, 2 assistant program directors, 4 curators, 1 archivist,, 1 conservator, 1 editor, 2 information specialists, 2 research assistants, 1 assistant curator, 2 museum technicians, 7 secretaries, and 6 clerical assistants (30 positions-$197, 500); and to provide personnel benefits ($14, 500), travel ($20, 000); printing and reproduction ($10, 000); other services ($581, 500); supplies

and materials ($48, 500); and equipment ($128, 000) $1, 000, 000

National Portrait Gallery

The National Portrait Gallery, established by Public Law 87-443,. dated April 27, 1962, is charged with the responsibility to collect and exhibit portraiture and statuary depicting men and women who have made significant contributions to the history, development, and culture of the people of the United States from its earliest period of discovery to

B.2C

')

the present. There will be established as an essential part of the

Gallery a center for American iconography, biography, and historical

study.

Need for increase

An increase of $320, 400 is requested for the National Portrait Gallery to continue its expanding program of planning the exhibition of portraits and other objects in the new Gallery. This involves extensive research, location, and acquisition of portraits and sculptures; restoration and care of portraits and other art objects which are acquired; the establishment of records of materials available immediately for transfer to the Gallery or which may be available for loan or later acquisition; the preparation of a detailed script for each exhibition hall of the Gallery; and the acquisition of related reference works.

The acquisition of a representative collection of portraiture for a truly national gallery is an undertaking of major importance. The history of the development of the outstanding galleries of the world attests to the scale of effort needed to achieve the excellence of their collections. Pla n of work

To employ 1 historian (biographer), 1 curator, 1 editor, 1 administrative assistant, 1 assistant curator, 1 museum aid, and 2 clerk-typists (8 positions- $61, 900) and to provide personnel benefits ($4, 500); travel ($7, 000); printing and reproduction ($20, 000); other services ($123, 000); supplies and materials ($18, 000); and equipment ($86,000). .................. ....... ............ $320,400

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND EXCHANGE OF SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION

An increase of $ 5,495,900 will be required for scientific research and exchange of scientific information. The Smithsonian, one of the leading scientific centers of intellectual life of our Nation, requires additional funds for performing basic research urgently needed to contribute to the advance<= ment of scientific knowledge. These diversified programs are explained in the following paragraphs,

Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory

The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory requires an increase of $883, 800 for the conduct of basic research of the solar system, including the earth and its atmosphere, and of the stars, galaxies, and interstellar matter. The fundamental importance of basic research is generally recognized in this technological age. The national emphasis on the multi-billion dollar space program clearly justifies the modest increase requested for the basic research programs carried out by the outstanding scientific staff of the Astrophysical Observatory.

Research in the earth's atmosphere, the atmospheres and surfaces of other planets, the moon's gravitational potential, interstellar matter, meteoritic matter in the solar system, and mineralogical analysis are fundamental to an advance in space science and technology. In addition, the Observatory is studying the theory of meteors in the earth's atmosphere, . comets, and making solar and stellar observations.

One major project, "Celescope, " has as its primary goal the obtaining of ultraviolet star data by use of satellite-borne instrumentation.

The key ingredients in the successful research program of the Astro-physical Observatory are outstanding leadership and staffing and the timely

provision of support and facilities when needed. The central purpose is to permit scientists to conduct effective research and to document and publish the knowledge gained. Need for increase

In fiscal year 1966, the Astrophysical Observatory plans to study the feasibility of a substantial program in radio astronomy. This is a most promising new area for exploration by the Observatory, prospectively in collaboration with Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Lincoln Laboratory. Funds are required to obtain preliminary design studies for a radio antenna several hundred feet in diameter. This instrument will be a major undertaking and may prove to be of the greatest importance to the science of radio astronomy.

Additional staff and related costs, including services for preliminary and engineering design studies, are also required for a large combined optical and microwave telescope for the detection of Cerenkov radiation from cosmic rays/of high energy gamma rays from discrete sources in space s and for general use as a microwave radio antenna for detection of millimetric (6 to 8 millimeters) wavelength. This is an area of unexplored potential for new knowledge.

Staff and related expenses are included for studies of radiation, stellar atmosphere, and spectrograph. Specialized equipment and instrumentation will be purchased. Travel funds will be increased for a wider participation of Astrophysical Observatory staff in scientific meetings in order to promote exchanges of information with astronomers throughout the world.

Plan of work

To employ 4 physicists, 2 astronomers, 1 senior programmer, 1 technician, and 1 aid (9 positions- $94, 000); and to provide personnel benefits ($6,800); travel ($16,000); rents, communications, and utilities ($43, 000); other services ($528,000); supplies and materials ($32, 000); and equipment ($164, 000) $883, 800

Radiation and Organisms

The Division of Radiation and Organisms requires an increase of $132, 000 to further fundamental research concerned with the effects of solar and ionizing radiation in biological systems. Increases in population have focused particular attention on controlling and improving food sources and necessary to this end is the understanding of basic growth and development of organisms. Ultimate success has not been achieved in any area of this research. Little is known about the precise mechanism by which radiation regulates metabolism; little is known concerning the structure and function of large molecules involved in energy storage. Seasonal changes in spectral quality of solar radiation have never been measured and correlated with plant responses. Marine biology research is aimed toward adequate understanding of the physiology and biochemistry of the occurrence, behavior, and potential harvest of marine organisms. Need for increase

The present research activity has demonstrated the need for a laboratory technical officer to coordinate research facilities, specify and order scientific supplies, supervise the design and construction of specialized equipment in research areas, and prepare drawings for publication in scientific journals.

B-25

A professional employee is required for the biological program to develop and conduct studies on the effects,of ionizing radiation in cells and tissues and on the rates of growth and changes in radiosensitivity in order to discover pathways through which ionizing radiation effects are manifested. This demonstrates the control mechanisms of such processes as heredity in living organisms. Additional laboratory technicians are required to support the scientists in their research. These additional positions will bring the ratio of technicians to scientists a little closer to an adequate balance.

Commensurate increases in travel and supplies are requested. Equipment capable of greater production and technological accomplishment in terms of volume, precision, and increasing complexity is required for the recently enlarged research facilities, including laboratory benches, culture rooms, microscopes, radioisotope equipment, and similar equipment. Plan of work

To employ 1 cytogeneticist, 1 laboratory administrative officer,

3 laboratory technicians (5 positions-$34, 400); and to provide personnel benefits ($2,600); travel ($500); other services ($500); supplies and materials ($2, 000); and equipment ($92, 000 nonrecurring) $132 : 000

Canal Zone Biological Area

An increase of $111, 200 is requested for the Canal Zone Biological Area to continue its development as a front-ranking center for tropical biology. The Canal Zone Biological Area is uniquely suited for biological research in that it is located in a relatively unspoiled tropical jungle area where native animal and plant forms may live without human interference. It is equipped with laboratories, a library, living quarters, and facilities for research in botany, zoology, geology, and certain aspects of meteorology. These structures are of simple construction and limited in size but do serve admirably for the present scale of the program.

An index of flora and fauna indigenous to the island is maintained. Research studies are conducted by resident Smithsonian staff as well as visiting Smithsonian and other scientists.

Biological research in the tropics is particularly significant and timely because of the increasing world-wide recognition of critical problems of biological association centering in tropical regions. The results of such studies increase understanding of fundamental processes and are of practical as well as theoretical value. Need for increase

Funds are requested to add a herpetologist (reptile specialist) and an entomologist to the limited professional staff of three in order to broaden the scope of activities and permit studies of most of the major classes of animals that are common in the New World tropics. The addition of these specialists would make the Canal Zone Biological Area more useful to scientists and students of other institutions. The anticipated increased

B-27

activity at the Canal Zone Biological Laboratory will necessitate the addition of several employees for the maintenance and operation of the facility.

Increases in travel and transportation are needed for transportation of the new employees and their household effects to the Canal Zone. The expanded research program will result in the need for additional supplies and materials and for maintenance services for complex recording and electronic equipment.

A nonrecurring item of $17, 000 is included for the purchase of equipment to record vocalizations of birds and mammals being studied; for air conditioning units for the laboratory; and for specimen cabinets and bookshelves.

Nonrecurring funds are needed also to construct additional living quarters for the new scientists and a dormitory-style building for visiting students. The Smithsonian, in fiscal year 1965, plans to organize a series of institutes to be operated in cooperation with United States universities that have expressed the need of just such tropical surroundings. It is now felt by many university administrators that all students in biology should have contacts with tropical surroundings early in their careers. The universities would provide leadership and instruction in such institutes, and the Canal Zone Biological Area would furnish the facilities and certain staff advice. Plan of work

To employ 1 herpetologist, 1 entomologist, 1 clerk-messenger, 1 guard, 2 helpers, 1 cleaning woman (7 positions-$33, 400); and to provide for additional part-time employment ($3, 200); personnel benefits '$2, 600); travel ($4, 000); transportation of things ($2, 000); other services ($5, 000); supplies and materials ($4, 000); equipment ($17, 000); and lands and structures

Museum of Natural History The Museum of Natural History is the national institution for systematic biology, anthropology, and mineralogy. Systematic biology is the study and scientific identification of both plants and animals and their populations, including their comparative structures, geographic distribution, evolution, and inter-relations with their environment in nature, the latter termed ecology. The research of the scientists in this Museum is unique in that it is based on vast collections amounting to millions of specimens, which have resulted from field work and donations and are representative of the natural history of the world. Research programs are necessary to make these national collections fully useful to all systematic biologists by comprehensive assembling of specimens, preservation in a protective repository, scientific examination and classification, and publication of the results of expeditions and studies. Taxonomic revision of scientific names and classification of specimens, new observations advancing biological theory and practice, and the pro-motion of inter-relations of systematics with other fields of science are other significant products of this research.

Anthropological studies, also based upon outstanding national collections, are concerned with compiling an ever more precise record

B-29

of the history of man and his culture, achieving a more profound understanding of his physical nature and his way of life.

Similarly, mineralogical studies are made relating to the earth itself and to those rare accretions from outer space, the meteorites. The Museum has one of the world's most comprehensive collections of minerals and meteorites. Knowledge of the chemical composition, history, and distribution of minerals and rocks is essential to the Nation's economy and to its space exploration effort. Need for increase

The Museum of Natural History requires an increase of $1, 082, 200 for research as described above. The need for added laboratory space to house these unique collections and to permit additional research associated with the collections was recognized at the time that construction of the major building additions to the Natural History Museum was initiated. It will be possible in the fiscal year 1966 to utilize these new laboratory facilities to full advantage, reflecting the greatly increased availability of space and analytical equipment.

New positions are required primarily for sub-professional technicians and clerical assistants to provide supporting services for the research staff, to meet increasing demands for identifications, and to provide assistance to other research workers and members of the public. The addition of the technical aides requested here will permit a ratio of three technicians to every two professional scientists on the staff, in response to a recent survey of needs. While this figure is below the optimum ratio derived from studies by the Department of Labor and the Civil

B-30

W Service Commission, it will permit great improvement in manpower

utilization and museum services, and result in technical training experience that may be utilized by other institutions throughout the Nation. Other personal service increases are for professional staff needed to work in the fields of archeology, fungi, invertebrate and vertebrate zoology, paleobotany, and ecology, including a small but intensive and fundamental research program on the organisms of soils. In these fields, knowledge is not now being derived from the national collections to an appreciable extent. Scientific travel funds are vital to research and consequently an increase in such funds is required commensurate with the greater scale of research programs. These funds are used by the scientific staff for field expeditions, to study important collections at other museums, and to attend and participate in national and international scientific meetings.

An amount is included for rental of research privileges at Ivy Neck, Maryland, for the conduct of ecological research. This area is uniquely valuable because it is adjacent to the Smithsonian's field biology station, recently acquired by a bequest to the Institution. These areas are among

the few remaining relatively unspoiled areas on the west shore of the

0 Chesapeake Bay, and their convenience to Washington and Baltimore is

expected to stimulate new studies relating the laboratory and field

LI aspects of the study of animal behavior and plant distribution, population

studies of marine and estuarine animals 9 and the growth of plants under 19

varying experimental conditions.

B-31

Funds are requested for the payment of fees, traveling expenses, and subsistence for visiting specialists, primarily in ecology to advise on the early phases of research, and for other contractual services required.

Alcohol and preservatives, glassware for preserved specimens, cardboard trays and boxes, microscopes and associated illuminators, photomicrqgraphic apparatus 3 and equipment for a new soil biology laboratory are representative of the added equipment requirements of the scope of programs planned. Plan of work

To employ 1 assistant director for ecology, 2 zoologists, 2 geologists, 4 ecologists, 1 microbiologist, 1 botanist, 1 physical anthropologist, 1 ethnomusicologist, 1 ethnologist, 1 paleobiologist, 1 editor-writer, 9 administrative assistants, 3 illustrators, 2 museum specialists, 66 technicians, 27 clerks, stenographers and typists (123 positions-$765, 000); and to provide personnel benefits ($54, 700); travel ($31, 000); rents, communications, and utilities ($41,000); other services ($80,000); supplies and materials ($20, 000); and equipment ($90, 500) $1, 082 3 200

National Oceanography Program The Museum of Natural History plays an important role in the National Oceanography Program. The Museum is responsible for collecting, identifying, describing, grouping, and characterizing the organisms and sediments in the world ocean. More than thirty million names have been given to the seemingly infinite variety of forms of life on earth. It is the purpose of the Museum's oceanography program to determine the validity

B-32

of the names of organisms living in the ocean and to describe the many new species of organisms which are collected in the National Oceanography Program.

The work of the Museum is a first step in the utilization of the ocean's resources. We will collect, identify, and predict the occurrence of organisms which are sources of antibiotics, pharmaceuticals and other substances; which cause the fouling of ships of commerce and the military; which are necessary in experiments leading to the understanding of human health; which have potential for production of food for the underfed humans in the world; and which lead to understanding the origin and evolutionary history of man.

The scope and purpose of this program have been developed with the approval of the Interagency Council for Oceanography and in principle by the Federal Council for Science and Technology.

It is now proposed to add specialized professional and sub-professional staff members in order to provide competence in numerous fields of biology not now available to the program; and to enable the Museum to accept a part of the tremendous increase in workload arising from the national oceanographic effort. Need for increase

Additional scientists are needed to broaden capability of the museum and to provide a minimum staff to accept oceanographic collections for preservation, storage, and study. Botanists, sedimentologists, zoologists, geologists, paleobiologists, and plankton specialists are urgently needed

I

B-33

in order to contribute their special skills and knowledge to the unlocking of the vast complexities of biological oceanography.

Sub--professionals and clerical workers are essential to provide the assistance required to make maximum use of the professional capabilities of the principal investigators. The number needed is based on studies made by advisory committees of the Smithsonian Institution and other agencies with the view of providing more nearly for an optimum balance between professional and sub-professional services.

Travel funds are required in order to examine type collections in museums throughout the world, to inspect and participate in work aboard oceanographic research vessels, and to accept and return collections at research centers throughout the country.

Additional funds are required as a share of the cost of the operation of research vessels, to charter small vessels for work on approved programs, and for expenses involved aboard ship for Smithsonian scientists at sea. A commensurate increase in supplies is required for the increased staff.

Increased funds for equipment are required because of the increased activity of the oceanography program. Equipment is required for the collections, qualitative and quantitative analysis, preservation, storage, and shipment of oceanographic materials. Plan of work

To employ 4 plankton specialists, 1 sedimentologist, 1 systematic botanist, 6 systematic zoologists, 3 paleobotanists, 1 geologist, 1 paleo-biologist, 2 museum specialists, 2 administrative assistants, 8 museum

B-34

technicians, 31 museum aids, and 9 secretaries and typists (69 positions -$441, 000); and to provide for personnel benefits ($32, 000); travel ($13, 500); other services ($120,500); supplies and materials ($18,000); and equipment ($237, 000) $862, 000

Studies of Species Information

Funds amounting to $100, 000 are required to study the information problems of systematic biology. Rapid increases in the rate of discovery, description, and naming of new organisms, especially in oceanography, have demonstrated the inadequacy of current methods of recovering information from published literature and museum catalogs, for example by the abstracting and indexing of technical literature.

Feasibility studies of new methods of publishing species names and the application of modern automatic data processing to the scientific nomenclature will be carried out and tested in the day-to-day activities of the Museum's team of systematic biologists, the sorting operations of the Smithsonian Oceanographic Sorting Center, and the cataloging operations for its collection. Better procedures for coding, filing, and retrieving information in systematic biology could release valuable hours of labor to more productive pursuits. Such studies will be immediately related to the Institution's problems and opportunities but will also be conducted so as to benefit systematic biology throughout the Nation. Need for increase

The increase would be used for a feasibility study designed to (1) test all aspects of the data processing program to determine its adaptability and efficiency in the field of natural history, and (2) determine

B-35

the long-range cost of installing and operating such a program on a full = scale basis. Plan of work

To provide by contract for rental of medium = sized computers, together with necessary code clerks, equipment operators, systems analyst, and associated supplies.

Other services $100, 000

Conservation Department

An increase of $132, 500 is requested for staffing and equipping the necessary conservation of museum objects program of the United States National Museum.

The conservation of museum objects of great intrinsic, historical, and scientific value, is the primary responsibility of the National Museum. The poor condition of large and valuable collections of museum objects was revealed by the moves of collections into the new Museum of History and Technology and into the new East Wing of the Museum of Natural History. Many unique and irreplaceable objects required to be used in the new exhibits in the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of History and Technology must be scientifically examined, restored, and protected from deterioration by trained conservators.

Conservation has been neglected for other pressing professional work just as the exhibits of the national collections were neglected up to 12 years ago. A conservation program is now required to be established just as the exhibits renovation program was required. The urgency is greater, as deterioration feeds upon itself and is accelerated if not arrested.

I

B-36

The poor condition of national collections of archeological, ethnological, scientific, historical, mechanical, graphic arts, and other classes of objects requires a museum-wide conservation program of large size and scope. Institutions abroad which are similar in scope and size to the National Museum have conservation laboratories occupying entire buildings with staffs of 50 or more trained conservators.

Conservators are needed to examine objects and perform research in the requirements and methods for preservation; others are required to perform the conservation work on many thousands of objects made of brass, bronze, copper, iron s steel, wood, stone, paper, leather, feathers, wool, cotton, silk, synthetic fibers, plastics, cord, skins, sinew, mineral and organic pigments, and many others.

In the brief existence of the small Conservation Laboratory located in the new Museum of History and Technology, a large backlog already exists of work requisitioned by the responsible curators. Plan of work

To make a substantial start on this overwhelming project, the following increases in positions and other expenses are required.

To employ 2 chemists (physical science technicians), 1 conservator (textiles), 1 conservator assistant (metal), 1 conservator assistant (paper), 1 conservator assistant (textiles), 1 conservator assistant (wood), and

1 information scientist (8 positions-=$54, 000); and to provide for personnel

I benefits ($4,000); travel ($3,000); other services ($2,500); supplies and

materials ($8, 000); and equipment ($61, 000) $132, 500

Of the equipment increases requested, $41,000 is nonrecurring.

B-37

Research formerly funded by the National Science Foundation

Included in the request is an increase for scientific research in the amount of $350, 000, an amount equal to the average annual obligations financed through grants received by the Smithsonian Institution from the National Science Foundation over the past two years.

During the last decade, the scientists of the Institution have successfully competed for and received increasing amounts of grants for scientific purposes from the Foundation. These funds have been used by the staff to make possible a more comprehensive research and study program than could be financed by direct appropriations. Such funds have been used for travel to scientific meetings, the financing of expeditions, procurement of special supplies and equipment for experiments and studies, purchase of scientific specimens, and similar contributions to the objectives of the Institution's research programs, primarily in the field of natural history.

An increase is requested in the annual appropriation of the Institution in the amount of $350, 000 to offset the prospective withdrawal of this supplemental financial support normally received from the Foundation. Need for increase

In order to comply with the intent of the proviso in the Independent Offices Appropriation Act for fiscal year 1965, prohibiting transfer of funds from the National Science Foundation to "any other agency of the government for research without the approval of the Bureau of the Budget," the Institution plans to discontinue submission of grant applications for

B-38

such research. The intent of the proviso is understood to be that Government agencies should obtain appropriations for their research directly from their own Congressional Committees.

It is planned to allocate the requested appropriated funds on the comparative merits of research proposals submitted by staff members. Review panels and the same standards of excellence used by the National Science Foundation will be employed in administering these funds. Plan of work

To employ professional and sub-professional research staff members (20 temporary positions=$154, 000); and to provide funds for personnel benefits ($6,000); travel ($70,000); other services ($60,000); supplies and materials ($15, 000); and equipment ($45, 000) $350, 000

These programs are designed to communicate research findings and techniques to fellow workers in other museums and educational institutions and afford to them opportunities to use the research facilities of the Institution. The programs have been designed to contribute to the productivity of Smithsonian scholarship and research through the direct stimulation afforded by graduate students undertaking their own research for the first time and the intellectual discipline imposed by the need to give more frequent expression to working ideas and the objectives of study. Senior workers will provide program and management advice, and their resulting familiarity with Institution programs is expected to contribute to recruitment objectives. A limited program of conferences is planned for those areas of science and learning where direct discussion is required for their advancement. :rr: ^\

The Smithsonian Institution, a leader in the national museum community, in cooperation with the American Association of Museums, will offer two training courses in museum techniques for the^gta^f members of other museums at an estimated total annual cost of $50, 000. The courses would involve the conservation of objects and-collections, visitor reaction and learning experience, and the modernization of cataloging techniques.

The Institution has traditional commitments and specialized collections in this area, but opportunities for the advancement of knowledge are not being satisfactorily met. This program of postdoctoral resident research associateships should expand Latin American manpower resources and ultimately lead toward a more satisfactory rate of progress in advancing fundamental knowledge about important biological problems, upon whose solution economic development often depends.

It is proposed to offer opportunities to twenty graduate students to complete research leading to the award of the Ph.D. degree by their home universities upon approval of projects executed at the Smithsonian.

Bicentennial Observance

Funds in the amount of $115, 000 (nonrecurring) are included for the observance in September 1965 of the 200th anniversary of the birth of James Smithson, the original benefactor whose bequest of his fortune to the United States made possible the founding of the Smithsonian Institution. The appropriate observance of this event will dramatize the importance and further the high purposes of the Smithsonian's original mandate, "the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men. "

It is proposed to observe this Bicentennial through a gathering of distinguished national and international scholars who will present research papers and addresses and participate in seminars and other appropriate ceremonies in Washington.

Contracts will be awarded to participants, including payment of their travel expenses, subsistence, and fees for lectures and other contributions to the Bicentennial.

'16 7

The Buildings Management Department will require a net increase of $806,400 to continue to protect, maintain, and dperate all Smithsonian buildings and surroundings. The increase is required in order to operate additional building space..in the Museum of History and Technology and the East and West Wings of the Museum of Natural History on a full-year basis. The increase is also required by the increasing number of visitors to these public exhibition buildings. The request includes assisting the exhibits staffs in assembly and installation of exhibit cases, displays, special lighting, and equipment; cleaning all exhibit and installation areas, workrooms, and offices; moving, loading, and unloading; servicing and operating refrigeration, heating, temperature and humidity control systems, and related machinery, accessories, and controls; performing alterations 9 improvements, and repairs; refinishing and painting all offices, workrooms, and laboratories; assembling, installing, and servicing workroom and special storage equipment; guarding the buildings and national collections; furnishing of all utilities, telephone services, motor vehicles for transportation of museum property and personnel.

Included in the above request is $65,000, the additional amount required for the operation of four museum buildings for the night hours, April 1 through August 31. Based on the experience of two months in fiscal year 1965, the total cost for five months will be $365, 000, or $65, 000 more than the amount appropriated for the current fiscal year.

REHABILITATION OF BUILDINGS PROGRAM ~

An increase of $299, 500 is requested for the rehabilitation of buildings, to be carried out under the supervision of the Buildings Management Department. The total program is estimated to require $330,500 for fiscal 1966.

The increase requested includes $169, 000 to restore the amount in the base of this appropriation for the rehabilitation program at the approved 1965 level of $200, 000. Experience has demonstrated this to be the normal level of funding required to maintain the buildings in proper repair. During the current year it has been necessary to re-program $169, 000 of the funds originally available for this purpose to (1) cover the unexpected, additional cost of alterations of space at the Naval Weapons Plant for the Institution's oceanography program, $74, 000, and (2) provide funds for personnel compensation due to an unexpected reduction in the lapse rate, $95, 000.

The balance of the increase, $130, 500, is requested in order to overcome a part of the maintenance deferred in fiscal year 1965.

The following projects are scheduled for fiscal year 1966: Arts and Industries Building

1. Replacement of deteriorated and uneven floors in public areas of the building, to improve

ADMINISTRATIVE AND SERVICE UNITS ~

The administrative and service units -will require an increase of $1, 572, 700 for additional staff and related expenses in order to provide services and support for the Institution's major programs of research and museum operation. The increase is commensurate with the increased scope of the Institution's activities. This will involve additional personnel and benefits, travel,, transportation of things, printing and reproduction, other contractual services, supplies and materials, and equipment.

The Editorial and Publications staff will be concerned with a necessary increase in research manuscripts and publications resulting from the Institution's expanding research and public service programs. It will publish more volumes of research results for study by scholars and as /* educational and informational materials for the public.

An improvement in library services is required in order to provide an adequate research facility. The Library will undertake the initial phase of recataloging over 500,000 books, now only partially and inadequately cataloged. For constructive action, the professional staff has documented the inadequacies of the Library. In recognition of its indispensable contribution to all scholarly work, additional funds for staff and books must be requested.

The Personnel, Fiscal, and Supply Divisions will each have an increased workload because of the increase in staff, financial transactions, and procurement for the major programs of the Institution.

1/ Proportionate share of increase distributed to each activity.

B-49

The Photographic Services Division will be required to provide additional services because of new exhibit hall openings; remodeling of exhibition halls; and the addition of new scientific, historical, and art objects for the collections. The completion of the new Museum of History and Technology building and the East Wing of the Natural History building, the near-completion of the West Wing, the National Zoological Park improvements, the additional scientific and technological personnel, together with such expanded programs as oceanography, have greatly increased the demands on the Photographic Services Division for photographs for record-ing, exhibition, publication, identification, and public information.

The Smithsonian Museum Service will undertake additional programs to develop the public educational potential of the Institution. An increase is requested for the technical planning of a Smithsonian Orientation Facility. This Facility would include exhibits, a motion picture film and theater, and other orientation services to assist the visitor in learning quickly about the Smithsonian and its museums and art galleries.

It is estimated that an appropriate motion picture for the proposed District of Columbia Visitor Center will cost a total of $140,000. The Smithsonian proposes that this cost be shared on the basis of $35, 000 each by four Government agencies--the Smithsonian Institution, National Park Service, the Civil Service Commission, and the National Capital Planning Commission. Possibly the District of Columbia Government should participate also. Because the Smithsonian is visited by so many of those coming to the Nationls. Capital, it has a necessary interest and responsibility to participate in orienting visitors to make their visits more productive and interesting. The purpose of this film will be to acquaint visitors to

<\

I

B-50

Washington with the history and notable attractions of the city and the governmental and cultural activity it serves. In estimating the cost of the film, the need for on-location filming, special effects and lighting; and first-quality artistic and technical competence have been considered, in order that a film worthy of the Nationls Capital may be produced.

The Smithsonian proposes to capitalize fully on the availability of the John F. Kennedy Center during its normal "dark time" by presenting educational exhibitions, lectures, closed circuit television showings, and similar programs related to such subjects as the educational work of the Smithsonian in science, history, and art. A similar program will be instituted in the existing auditoriums of the Institution. Planning will involve travel by present staff to gain the experience of other performing arts centers, consultation with experts in closed circuit television installation, planning for exhibitions; and purchase of equipment such as lecterns, audio-visual equipment, and other devices required for educational presentations.

The additional Museum Service staff will assist in providing tours of the museums for visitors, answering inquiries of a sub-professional character about the collections, preparing manuscripts for popular publications, presenting lectures, and interpreting the collections for visitors.

The additional Public Information staff will assist in providing selected information concerning the Institution and its work, answering inquiries, and providing proper publicity for exhibitions, lectures, special events, and other Smithsonian activities.

B-51

The Office of the Registrar will be concerned with an increasing number of requests for transportation of items of wide variety, such as valuable works of art, fragile and delicate pieces of glass, laces and costumes, steam engines and farm machinery, boats, fine and irreplaceable models, delicate pinned insects, preserved skeletons, and skins of vertebrate animals. This will involve additional staff and funds for the payment of transportation. The major portion of the increase is for the expanding programs of oceanography, the National Air and Space Museum, the National Collection of Fine Arts, the National Portrait Gallery, the United States National Museum, and the Supply Division. Plan of work

To employ 1 director, radio, TV, and film productions, 1 director, visitor services, 1 director, museum education, 1 director, public information, 1 director, Smithsonian orientation center, 1 curator, 2 nurses, 68 staff technicians, 59 secretarial and clerical assistants (135 positions-$825, 900); and to provide for personnel benefits ($60, 000); travel ($4, 500); transportation of things ($57, 000); penalty mail ($15, 000); printing and reproduction ($130,000); production of film on craft techniques, orientation, and D. C. Visitor Center film, planning for Smithsonian Orientation Facility and John F. Kennedy Center presentations, translation services, reproduction of catalog cards, and contract for automatic data processing equipment ($289, 100); office supplies, addressograph supplies, and periodicals ($95,400); film checking and projecting equipment, magnetic tape duplicator, office furniture, machines, and equipment, and books ($95, 800), a total of $1, 572, 700.

MISCELLANEOUS PERSONNEL INCREASES ~

An increase of $651, 200 is required for personnel compensation and benefits as explained below ($610, 200 personnel compensation; $41, 000 personnel benefits). All operations of the Smithsonian Institution have been carefully reviewed to determine whether any portion of the requested increases can be absorbed. It will not be possible to do so without seriously curtailing the museum, art, and scientific programs, and the protection, operation, and maintenance of the Smithsonian buildings and grounds. The millions of visitors to the Museum of History and Technology building have greatly increased the demands for building services. The current staff in the Buildings Management Department is inadequate to carry out the increasing workload, as evidenced by inspection and complaints.

(a) An increase of $62, 000 is required to cover the full-year cost in 1966 of salary increases to General Schedule employees effective July 5, 1964 (Public Law 88-426). This amount is in addition to the anticipated supplemental for 1965 which has been included in the base for 1966.

(b) An additional $90, 000 is required for the full=year cost of salary increases granted to wage employees in December 1963, This amount was determined through an analysis of all wage positions, taking into consideration representative lapse factors.

(c) An increase of $150, 000 is requested to pay for step increases in accordance with the Government Employees Salary Reform Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 400). This sum includes the portion of the fiscal year 1966 step increases to be paid in that year and the carryover cost from fiscal year 1965. The apparent cost was determined through a position-by-position

1/ Proportionate share of increases distributed to each activity.

B-54

study and has been reduced to real cost by offsets resulting from the fact that a percentage of the employees are separated before they receive their step increases or have been promoted to another position and the further offset resulting from filling some positions at a lower step within the grade than former incumbents enjoyed.

(d) The sum of $100, 000 is requested for the full-year cost of positions for which funds were appropriated for only a part of the year. The positions were primarily in the scientific and art fields.

(e) An increase of $234, 200 is requested because the lapse rate is decreasing each year. It is our considered opinion, based on experience over the past few years, that our net lapse for fiscal year 1966 will probably not exceed 3. 5% of the gross personnel compensation figure.

(f) An additional $15, 000 is requested for overtime which will be required in connection with the heavy schedule of new hall openings and other special events. This estimate is based on experience in fiscal year 1964, and the anticipation of an increasing number of such special events in fiscal year 1966 as the new Museum becomes more fully utilized.

The above increases have been distributed as follows:

Activity Amount

Museum Operations $303, 400

Art Gallery Operations 30, 000

Scientific Research and Exchange of Scientific Information 317, 800

Total $651,200

Additional Data Regarding Personnel Compensation

(a) Explanation of Lapse During fiscal year 1964 records were maintained of savings developed

because of delays in filling vacancies and new positions and scheduled part-year employment. These formed the basis for the gross lapse figure. A portion of these savings were "forced" because of a shortage of personnel funds. Positions for which candidates would have been available were forced to remain vacant the latter part of the fiscal year. The following unbudgeted costs for which records were also maintained were considered as offsets to this gross lapse: net cost resulting from filling positions at higher than the budgeted figure; terminal leave; regradings in accordance with Civil Service standards; within-grade salary advancements, including quality step increases; and the portion of wage increases not covered by supplemental appropriation.

The 1965 and 1966 lapse figures were based on the 1964 experience on turnover and terminal leave costs, information from the Personnel Division on the classification program of the Institution, and on the fact that the new positions scheduled for those years are in the category of being more readily filled, thereby reducing the amount saved because of delays in recruiting.

(b) Change in average salary General Schedule

The average GS salary between 1963 and 1964 increased by $557. The majority of this increase is a result of the second phase of the Federal Employees Salary Act of 1962, effective January 5, 1964. In addition, in accordance with provisions in this Act, more step increases

-55 B-56

Wage

The average salary between fiscal years 1963 and 1964 increased by $265, This increase resulted from salary increases granted to wage employees on December 8, 1963. In addition, a number of wage positions were regraded in accordance with Civil Service standards.

The average salary between fiscal years 1964 and 1965 is estimated to decrease by $89. The fact that 75% of the new wage positions to be filled in 1965 are at a rate lower than the 1964 average is responsible for this decrease.

The average salary increase between fiscal years 1965 and 1966 is estimated to be less than 1%. (e) Manpower requirements / A portion of the new positions requested are related to the protection,

maintenance, and operation of additional building space in the Museum of History and Technology and the East and West Wings of the Museum of Natural History on a full-year basis. In determining the needs, consideration was given to the increasing number of visitors to these public exhibition buildings, additional halls opened to the public in that year, nature and size of the areas to be serviced, value of the collections in the exhibition areas, and the increasing number of new laboratories.

The major portion of the new scientific positions are for sub-professional technicians and clerical assistants to provide supporting services to the research staff. A recent survey revealed that additional aids are required to provide the proper ratio of technicians to professionals. After these increases the staffing remains below the optimum ratio derived from studies by the Department of Labor and the Civil Service Commission.

B-5

Additional staff for the National Air Museum, National Collection of Fine Arts, and the National Portrait Gallery, are needed to plan, assemble, and prepare exhibits prior to the move into new building facilities. These requirements were based on the construction schedule of the new buildings, and the number and kinds of exhibits.

The additional staff for the Library is requested to provide adequate support for the research programs of the Institution, and to initiate a recataloging and reclassification program for the library collections. These needs were determined after careful studies of the Library's services and facilities.

The additional positions requested for the administrative and service units are commensurate with the increased scope of the Institution's activities.

B-5& B-59

T

•were paid to Smithsonian employees since a large number of them are in steps 1, 2, and 3 and now receive a step increase each year. Ninety-three quality step increases granted in 1964 also affected the average salary.

The average GS salary between 1964 and 1965 is estimated to increase by $253. The Federal Employees Salary Act of 1964, effective July 5, 1964, will increase the average salary by $372. This increase, however, will be reduced to $253 because a majority of tKe new positions for 1965 are at a rate lower than the average for 1964.

The average salary between 1965 and 1966 is estimated to decrease by $170. This decrease results from the fact that 76% of the additional GS positions requested for 1966 are at a rate lower than the average for 1965.

(c) Within°grade salary advancements Justifications on page B-54.

(d) Change in average General Schedule grade

The average grade between the estimate for fiscal year 1964 and the actual for that year changed from 7. 6 to 7. 7. The net loss in turnover and authorized regradings were responsible for this increase.

The average grade between fiscal years 1964 and 1965 is estimated to change from 7. 7 to 7. 5. This decrease is explained by the fact that the average grade of new 1965 positions is GS- 5. 6.

The average grade is expected to remain the same in fiscal years 1965 and 1966 -- 7.5.

ARCHEOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND EXCAVATION

In furtherance of its traditional concern with the study of man ; the Institution wishes to undertake a program of awarding grants to American universities, museums or other institutions of higher learning interested in conducting research and excavation in archeology and related disciplines in foreign countries.

The Smithsonian makes this request in the firm belief that support to American archeology abroad constitutes a valuable and timely benefit to American scholarship and to the host nations as well Archeology, which the Institution defines as both the humanistic and scientific approaches to the study of ancient man, is not a "dead science " In recent years radioactive carbon dating, isotope analysis and other modern techniques have shed new and accurate light on the origins and migrations of peoples, crops, animals and articles of manufacture. Thus archeology today is not only the fountainhead of history, but a science which directly contributes to present-day understanding of inter-cultural relationships, land use, agriculture and trade The record of American universities or museums which have contributed in this manner to our knowledge of the heritage of man through field work abroad is a distinguished one; it is a record that can be enormously enhanced by modest help in foreign currency grants.

C-7

>

To a degree not found in other disciplines, the costs of archeological expeditions are more directly expended in the field than in preparatory organization, in the salaries of foreman and laborers, for example, or construction of buildings to preserve equipment and excavations. A small amount of help in meeting local expenses can therefore often mean the difference between continuing or abandoning promising archeological projects. The value of such help has been proven by the grants which the Department of State formerly gave to various American universities and museums. The State Department now fully endorses Smithsonian assumption of this responsibility on the grounds that archeological programs most properly fall within this Institution's purview and competence.

Under this program, the Smithsonian would not itself be heavily engaged in overseas projects, but would instead set up an advisory group, composed of experts within the Institution and without, to make value judgments on the proposals of American private institutions and to award and administer foreign currency grants accordingly, for maximum benefit of all participating institutions, as well as the Smithsonian.

Typical project proposals which the Institution would consider might include surveys of pre-historic sites in Egypt, excavation of biblical sites in Israel, surveys of the potentially rich Peshawar Plain in Pakistan, or research aimed at coordinating disparate archeological findings in various states of India, as a guide to future excavations. American institutions that have been and continue to be interested in such projects

C-8

include Cornell, Pennsylvanian, Harvard, New York University, Emory, Southern California, the University of Washington, Michigan, the American Museum of Natural History, the Fogg Art Museum and many others.

The Smithsonian's authority and competence to be associated with archeological programs, here and aborad, are clear and long-standing. Beyond James Smithson's original mandate for the increase and diffusion of knowledge, there is the historical fact of the Institution's early attention to archeology, beginning in 1847 when Secretary Joseph Henry recognized the importance of the findings of two American archeologists investigating Indian mounds in Ohio and published their work, Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley , a pioneer effort in American archeology and the Smithsonian's first scientific publication Thereafter Congress supported expeditions sponsored by the Smithsonian which scientifically explored the geology, archeology and ethnology of our Western states. In 1879, aware of the increasing importance of these expeditions, Congress gave them a more established authority and regular appropriations by creating the United States Geological Survey within the Interior Department and the Bureau of Ethnology within the Smithsonian That year also Congress directed that "all collections of . , . objects of natural history, archeology and ethnology" made by government agencies or parties for the Government of the United States be deposited in the Smithsonian's National Museum

Today the Smithsonian continues its concern with American archeology and maintains close contact with the leading American institutions and

C-9

professional associations, including the Archeological Institute of America, which has its chartered address and holds it^annual meetings at the Smithsonian. But the Institution has also gone on to pre-eminence in the study of man in many parts of the world. Among its curators are experts who have pursued archeological investigations in every major world area and have working relationships with many foreign institutions.

It is because of this past record and these present-day associations that the Institution believes it has a strong obligation to support American archeology in the developing countries. In certain of these countries, foreign currency excess conditions exist, principally in the Middle East, where American institutions face increasingly competitive interest by European nations. Such support will result in the enrichment of collections and the advancement of knowledge in American museums and public or private institutions of learning. It will also result in creating strong cooperative ties with the host nations, where archeology is universally welcomed as aid which goes to all sectors of society, from the foreign scholars working with Americans to the considerable number of laborers employed in the larger excavations, and as a proven stimulus to tourist industries. Program Support, Plan of Work

To successfully supervise the above outlined functions, the Institution will require two additional staff members and two new secretarial positions, One staff position will be that of a Program Coordinator, who would serve

C-10

as executive secretary of the proposed advisory group and be responsible,

under direction of the Secretary, for planning all phases of the program,

from negotiations with interested private institutions to periodic review

and reporting of established projects. He would also serve as the

Smithsonian's liaison with the Department of State, the National Science

Foundation and other appropriate agencies and represent the Smithsonian

at any inter-agency coordination meetings on use of excess foreign currencies,

The other position will be an Administrative Officer, responsible for drawing up contracts, preparation of both dollar and foreign currency budgets, and determination of administrative support agreements, whenever required, with United States Embassies in appropriate countries.

Compensation for these positions, travel and other administrative factors constitute the U. S. dollar costs of the program, which total $115,000. Overseas Program, Apportionment of Foreign Currencies

To finance the costs of this program of grants for archeological exploration, excavation and research, the Institution will seek such foreign currencies as the Treasury Department has determined to be excess to the normal requirements of the United States. At the moment of writing, the excess currency countries are Burma, India, Pakistan, Israel, Egypt, Poland and Yugoslavia.

Since the Smithsonian's most essential function in this program will be to evaluate future project proposals from other institutions, an exact

C-ll

country-by-country project inventory is neither possible nor necessary at this time. But estimates may be made from two sources. First, there are some six American archeological excavation or research projects which have in the past received modest foreign currency grants from the State Department which the Smithsonian would seriously consider for continued support, since their importance is well known to the Institution. They are as follows:

Institution

Carnegie Museum -Pittsburgh Theological Seminary

Project

Second, injustice to the many essential study and excavation opportunities in both Pakistan, where very little archeological work has been done, and other of the excess countries listed above, the Smithsonian would want to devote at least half or more of its grant resources to pioneer projects.

The Institution has already received general expressions of interest from leading private institutions, including the University of Pennsylvania, Dumbarton Oaks, Harvard and others, for projects in these countries, where American archeology is virtually unknown The following are typical projects of this kind, along with cost estimates based on averages for major excavations, minor excavations or explorations, and surveys:

CONSTRUCTION AND IMPROVEMENTS NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL PARK

An appropriation of $1, 539, 000 is requested for the fourth year's capital improvement projects at the National Zoological Park and for advance planning for future projects.

The improvement program is needed to provide adequate animal-exhibition buildings and visitor facilities in the existing natural setting for the outstanding collection of some 3, COO animals. The ten-year improvement program will create natural habitat surroundings for the animals through the use of such features as wet and dry moats, nearly-invisible wire, and heavy glass to minimize viewing obstructions between the visitors and the animals. The estimated number of visitors is now over three million annually, coming largely from outside of the District of Columbia. This program was authorized by the founding Act of April 30, 1890, as amended by the Act of October 4, 1961. The National Zoological Park is administered by the Smithsonian Institution to carry out its statutory purpose, "the advancement of science and the instruction and recreation of the people. "

Funds totaling $1, 275, 000 in fiscal year 1963, $1, 275, 000 in fiscal year 1964, and $1, 525, 000 in fiscal year 1965 have been appropriated for the first three years of a continuing program of capital improvements at the National Zoological Park. These

E-6

appropriations have provided for relocation of the east-west

road from Connecticut Avenue to Harvard Street; construction

of the bird flight cage and remodeling of the bird exhibition

building; improvement of the principal pedestrian entrance to

the Zoo off Connecticut Avenue; construction of exhibits and

houses for hardy hoofed stock, delicate hoofed stock and deer,

construction of a property yard, 3 paved parking areas for

visitors' automobiles and buses, and an incinerator; and

planning and installation of utilities.

There follows a summary of the projects proposed to be

undertaken with fiscal year 1966 funds:

Planning

Detailed plans and designs for fiscal year 1967 projects $122, 000

Advance planning and consultation for fiscal year 1968 projects 37, 000 $159,000

Construction - exhibits

Multi-climate house 1, 380, 000

Total 1, 539,000

Detailed plans and designs for fiscal year 1967 . . . $122 ? 000

Veterinary Hospital. During fiscal year 1966 detailed plans will be completed for a veterinary hospital for treatment of ill and injured animals and for quarantining animals new to the collection.

ErJ;

Ties larch laboratory-. Detailed plans will also be completed for a clinical research laboratory for medical and zoological research relative to keeping of wild animals in captivity and to improve the techniques of wild animal husbandry.

Greenhouse. In addition, detailed plans will be completed for the rearing and propagation of plants to be used as an integral part of the animal exhibits, and as specialized food for tropical and semi-tropical animals which cannot adapt to the locally available foodstuffs.

Detailed plans will also be made for necessary expansion of the utility system assigned to this area. Advance planning and consultation for fiscal year 1968 . . . . $37, 000

Advance plans will be made for constructing new bear and goat exhibits. Advance planning of the service roadway and utilities assigned to this phase will continue. (Total $27, 000).

The Smithsonian Institution will require $10. 000 in fiscal year 1966 for the improvement program, including consultants fees travel for inspection of good design practices in other zoos, purchase of equipment, and similar expenses directly related to the program of improvements. Construction -- exhibits $1, 380. COG

The multi-climate house, a special environmental building which is divided into the zones of climatic control to accommodate tropical, desert, and temperate zone creatures, will be constructed in fiscal year 1966. In this building will be exhibited those peculiar species

E-a

of animals which cannot be exhibited other than by duplicating their natural home or are best kept under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. Such animals include manatee, platypus, specialized monkeys and apes. The location of this building is west of the small mammal building*.and: s^o'uth of the elephant house, as shown in the Master Plan.

The upper floor of this house will be devoted to administra^ tive offices. The present administrative building, over 159 years old, is in very poor condition and wholly inadequate to house the administrative offices of the National Zoological Park. In addition, it is located too far from the center of activity in the Zoo for effective management.

An appropriation of $40, 045, 000 is requested for fiscal year 1966 for the construction of the National Air and Space Museum Building. This amount is requested in order that the project for which a site in the Mall has been designated by an Act of Congress and for which building plans and specifications are already being developed can be placed under construction when planning is completed in July 1965. This building will provide appropriate facilities for display of the national collection of historic and modern air and space craft to visitors numbering over 5 million annually from every state in the Union.

The size and cost of this building are determined by its function and by its location on the Mall,where it is a part of the Smithsonian complex of museums and art galleries and is most convenient to visitors.. Its commodious proportions and long-span design are necessary to accommodate a heavy visitor load of over 5,000,000 persons annually and to display a large collection of historic air and space craft together with thousands of instruments, engines, uniforms, trophies, models, drawings, reference books, and memorabilia that comprise this great historical documentation and exhibition of air and space exploration.

Planning was authorized by the Act of September 6, 1958. The Mall site for the building was designated by the same Act, after extensive Congressional hearings. The appropriation of $511,000 \j in fiscal year 1964 and $1, 364,000 in 1965 provided for the plans and

specifications which are being prepared for the General Services Administration and the Smithsonian Institution by Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, and Mills, Petticord and Mills, architects. The detailed plans and specifications required for advertising for bids for construction are estimated to be completed by the end of fiscal year 1965.

The legislation to authorize construction of the museum building (S. 2602 of the 88th Congress) passed the Senate and was recommended by the Subcommittee of the House Committee on House Administration. The full Committee tabled the legislation. Referring to S. 2602, the Chairman of the Committee on House Administration stated in a letter dated September 3, 1964:

"Frankly, I was surprised and disappointed that the House Administration Committee, on August 11, 1964, acted adversely on this measure. I believe, however, that favorable action can eventually be obtained.

"I have discussed with the Speaker the scheduling of this measure, if brought out of the Committee. With a crowded Calendar and the pressure for adjournment, it may not be advisable to attempt passage in this Session. I hope, however, that both the House and Senate may take it up in the early part of the 89th Congress, and I assure you of my continuous interest in it. "

The Smithsonian Institution expects this legislation to be introduced and passed early in the next Session.

This legislation was recommended by, or was without objection to, the Department of the Air Force, the Commission of Fine Arts, the National Capital Planning Commission, the Federal Aviation Agency, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

On April 28, 1964, the Commission of Fine Arts approved the

preliminary design of the proposed museum building. On May 8, 1964, the National Capital Planning Commission approved the location of the building on the Mall site and the preliminary design of the building, including its height, bulk, and size and the provisions for open space in and around the building. Both approvals have since been followed by ratification of such various elements as parking entrances, traffic flow, materials of construction, and minor architectural designs.

The Bureau of the Budget has advised that there is no objection from the standpoint of the administration's program to the presentation to the Congress of this report, provided section 3 (2)(b) relating to the nonapplication of the Classification Act to the salary of the Director of the National Air and Space Museum is deleted as recommended by the Civil Service Commission. (This has been done. )

This legislation has the approval of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, and was introduced in the Senate by Senator Anderson, for himself and Senator Saltonstall, both Regents of the Smithsonian. Similar legislation, House Joint Resolution 940, was introduced in the House of Representatives by the late Congressman Clarence Cannon, also a Regent of the Smithsonian.

The National Air Museum Advisory Board also has voiced its approval of the project.

In view of this history of endorsement of the building and the legislation to authorize it, the Smithsonian Institution urgently requests that construction funds in the amount of $40, 045, 000 be included in the President's Budget for 1966. The appropriation should be made contingent upon passage of authorizing legislation. This will permit

n

F-9

(

I

construction to start in the summer of 1965 provided that the authorizing legislation is enacted into law during the first session of the 89th Congress. Such uninterrupted progress on the project will avoid the potential increase in cost arising from a delay of one year and will permit construction to proceed upon the completion of planning in July 1965.

The construction of the museum building will make possible for the first time a comprehensive presentation to the public of notable air and space exhibits. It will also present the mathematics, physics, fuel chemistry, metallurgy, and broad engineering bases of aeronautics and space exploration. The educational and inspirational character of these exhibits will find a response in the interest and enthusiasm of American youth in air and space science. Only by the display of original aircraft and space craft from the national collections can the millions of visitors each year relive notable events in our national history, and gain an understanding of the underlying principles of science and technology which have made possible our achievements in this field. Included in the Air Museum's historic collections are the original Wright Brothers' "Kitty Hawk" Flyer, original Goddard Rockets, the "Spirit of St. Louis, " "Freedom 7, " and "Friendship 7

The tremendous public interest in these collections is demonstrated by the great crowds visiting the existing small hangar located behind the Smithsonian Building. This small exhibit, representing less than 5 percent of the Smithsonian's air and space collections, was visited in fiscal year 1964 by 1, 854, 000 visitors from every State in the Union. As many as 35,000 visitors have crowded through the building in a single day.

F-10

D,

MO

We estimate that the new Museum of History and Technology-Building will be visited by over 5 million during its first year, based on attendance of 4, 500, 000 in the first 8 months. A minimum of 5 million visitors a year will surely visit the new National Air and Space Museum Building when it opens. Our conservative estimate of attendance at the new Air and Space Museum in the first decade after its opening is from 50 to 60 million visitors.

Restoration and Renovation of Buildings

An appropriation of $4, 547, 000 is requested for fiscal year 1966 for the restoration and renovation of the Arts and Industries and the Smithsonian Institution Buildings; for alteration of occupied space at the Naval Weapons Plant; and for a feasibility study of the East and West Courts of the Museum of Natural History to improve and increase the amount of usable space and to provide air conditioning. Arts and Industries Building

Included in this request is $2, 199, 000 to air-condition the Arts and Industries Building and to increase the square footage of space available on the second floor of the building to provide office and f storage space.

The Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution has determined that the Arts and Industries Building, old but still very serviceable, will be used indefinitely as an exhibition building. It is planned to exhibit here large objects which cannot be accommodated in the new Museum of History and Technology, such as transportation vehicles, tanks, cannons, and other military objects. Significant aircraft will also be exhibited in the Arts and Industries Building until they can be installed in the National Air and Space Museum, probably in fiscal year 1969. The building also is being used to house curatorial and administrative staff formerly housed in temporary Government quarters and for recently authorized activities such as the National Portrait Gallery and the National Armed Forces Museum Advisory Board. This building is also urgently needed to provide office space to alleviate crowded conditions in other Smithsonian buildings.

G-c

-

Installation of air conditioning in this building will contribute in a very substantial way to the comfort of the great crowds of visitors who tour it each year, as well as add to the effectiveness of staff located in this building. There were 2, 457, 243 visitors in this building during fiscal year 1964. Temperature and humidity control will also assist in our efforts to preserve valuable specimens and objects which are placed on public exhibition or stored in the reference collections in this building.

We also need to increase the square footage of space available on the second floor of the Arts and Industries Building to obtain, at least cost possible, urgently needed office and storage space. By flooring over certain court areas an additional 26, 000 square feet of office and storage space would be gained. Both the estimate of $1, 199, 000 to air-condition the building and $1, 000, 000 to deck over certain court areas in that building were provided by the Public Buildings Service, General Services Administration. Smithsonian Institution Building

The sum of $2, 054, 000 is requested to air-condition the entire Smithsonian Building and to modernize the third floor, and to install a fourth floor to provide urgently needed space.

The expected completion of the West Wing of the Natural History Building in 1965 will make possible the removal of the National Herbarium containing over three million botanical specimens, together with the curatorial and research offices of the Department of Botany, from the third floor and the improvised deck over the third floor. This will provide us with an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a substantial

block of valuable office space within an existing building at minimum expense, by improving the usefulness of the upper floors of the old building for curatorial and administrative work areas. The net gain in usable office area will be 20 ; 000 square feet.

The Smithsonian Institution Building is one of the important 19th Century buildings of our country and has been designated by many architectural historians as one to be preserved for its historical significance. It was the first building in America to be erected in the style termed by its designer as Lombard Romanesque. James Renwick, Jr. , first President of the American Institute of Architects; was the designer.

The renovation of the third and fourth floors of the Smithsonian Building will include a new metal spiral stairway in the southwest tower between the third and fourth floors; 2 toilet rooms; new passenger elevator in the south tower with service stops at all five floors; and fluorescent lighting for the third and fourth floors.

In addition, for the comfort of the many visitors (1, 311, 061 in 1964) to the exhibition area of this building, as well as for the efficiency of workers in the administrative and curatorial offices, it is proposed that the entire building be air-conditioned, the heating system be renovated; and that separate storm and sanitary sewers be provided for the whole building. An underground transformer vault will be installed.

The estimate of $2, 054 ; 000 for air-conditioning the whole building and modernizing the third floor and installing a new fourth floor has

C-S

been provided by the Public Buildings Service, General Services

Administration.

Alteration and improvement of space at Naval Weapons Plant

The sum of $194, 000 is required to convert 30, 000 square feet of industrial type building space at the Naval Weapbns Plant into research laboratories and workrooms for the Smithsonian's Oceanographic program. Both the Executive and Legislative branches are placing increased emphasis on a national oceanographic program, Within the expanding national oceanographic program the Smithsonian Institution, at the direction of the Interagency Committee on Oceanography, is developing competence to handle the natural history specimens of organisms and sediments. This competence will supplement research developments in other agencies in the fields of sedimentology and marine biology.

The Oceanographic Sorting Center of the Smithsonian Institution is now occupying approximately 30, 000 square feet of rent-free space at the Naval Weapons Plant.

The continuing expansion of the activities in oceanography has resulted in a need for additional space. The additional space will allow for expansion of the Sorting Center and development of a Sedimentation Laboratory and provision for an Identification Service for oceanographic specimens. An area equivalent to that already occupied will require extensive alterations and improvements to make it suitable for these oceanographic activities.

Included in the alteration work are installation of floor tile, steel shelving, new partitions, and ceilings; modifying the heating and lighting systems; replacement of windows; and repainting.

The estimate of $194, 000 is based on the cost of converting the previously acquired space into research laboratories and workrooms. Feasibility studies of construction within the Natural History Building

The sum of $100, 000 is requested for feasibility studies of additional construction within the confines of the original Natural History Building.

Studies indicate the requirement by- 1970 for approximately 50 percent more space than 1965 holdings for Museum of Natural History purposes. Planned, strengthened and more dynamic programs in research, much greater emphasis on education using the facilities of the museum, and substantial increases to the natural history collections indicate that activities in the Natural History Building could use effectively 200, 000 square feet of additional space.

The Natural History Building, completed in 1911, contains a number of large open areas lending themselves to the construction of work and storage spaces. The West Court, 128 feet square and almost 100 feet high, offers a possible potential of seven floors with a total of 100, 000 square feet. The East Court has the same basic dimensions and, despite containing central air-conditioning equipment, may offer some space for construction. Within the original building the large halls with a height of about 55 feet and certain other spaces with high ceilings might be decked to provide additional floors for work space.

G-l

The purposes of the feasibility studies would be to identify all major areas within the existing building where construction would yield additional work and storage space at the least cost and to develop preliminary plans and estimates for performing the work.

An appropriation of $75, 000 is requested to erect a statue on the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution to memorialize the second Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and organizer of the United States National Museum, Spencer Fullerton Baird.

Dr. Baird, a distinguished naturalist and eminent biologist, served the Smithsonian for thirty-seven years. From 1878 to 1887 he served as the Institution's second Secretary, During his career with the Smithsonian Institution, "he developed the United States National Museum; promoted the establishment of the United States Fish Commission, the first Government conservation agency, and served as its first Commissioner. Secretary Baird was instrumental in establishing and organizing the International Exchange Service, which continues to play an active role in the diffusion of knowledge. He was a leading promoter of the early Government surveys of the western United States and helped make these activities a traditional part of the Smithsonian Institution,. The Marine Biology Station at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, now the famous "Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution", originated with him.

The accomplishments of this famous American scientist deserve the wider recognition that the erection of this statue would accomplish, and this memorial will be highly appreciated by biologists throughout the world.

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION SALARIES AND EXPENSES OCEANOGRAPHY

Justification of Supplemental Request for $1, 000, Q00 additional appropriationTor 1966

1965 Appropriation $795,000

1966 Request 1, 689, 000

1966 Revised Request 2,689,000

As its contribution to the national oceanographic-oceanologic program the Smithsonian Institution studies the kinds, distributions, and populations of organisms and sediments of the world ocean. These studies provide the basis for exploitation of resources, for understanding of biological fouling and acoustics by the Navy, for achieving an understanding of the waste disposal capability and the pharmaceutical productivity of marine organisms by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and for a basic understanding of the existence and survival of organisms in the world ocean.

The Institution, through its responsibility to insure that the national collections are studied, maintains close liaison and direct coordination with research of many university and other government agencies. It provides guidance and support to international programs such as the International Indian Ocean Expedition and the International Cooperative Investigations of the Tropical Atlantic, as well as to national programs such as the U. S. Antarctic Research Program and other expeditionary efforts. Its 39 scientists participate in every phase of planning and operating of biological and geological expeditions and report upon the results of their study of the collections of these expeditions. The Smithsonian Oceanographic Sorting Center processes specimens and sediments collected by and for oceanographic institutions, other government agencies,and the research staff of the U.S. National Museum.

The vigor of the Institution's program has been maintained and its capability multiplied through meager research funding periods by a less than desirable policy of supplementing Federal support through the use of grants and contract funds.

-2-

An appraisal of the capabilities of the Institution has resulted in endorsement of the strength and soundness of our plans for oceanolot expansion, through the mechanism of the Federal budget by the Interage:-Committee on Oceanography and the Federal Council for Science and Technology. A special scientific committee, which was convened by the Office of Science and Technology, also has endorsed the request oi t.-. Institution for special budget consideration to permit at least a $1 million increase in funding for oceanography beyond that proposed in the regular budget.

These additional funds would be used to provide for extensive charter of oceanographic vessels and of underseas vehicles, for rental anc tenance costs of seaside facilities to be used in oceanologic resear jt

greater involvement of university facilities and students in the Instituticr oceanology program, for a small increase in scientific and technical personnel to assist with the management of this additional program, and for additional equipment and instrumentation support for the existing stc

For many years the Institution has taken advantage of its ability to participate in oceanic expeditions in space furnished by the Bureau of Cc: merical Fisheries, the National Science Foundation, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Coast Guard, the Coast and Geodetic S . the Naval Oceanographic Office and other ship operating agencies. Although the Institution plans to continue to take advantage of these s-of-opp

the staff finds it desirable to take direct control of an oceanologic resear vessel for longer periods of time in order to examine the biota and sediments of areas that are presently not being visited by ships of other agencies.

It has been suggested that surplus Navy facilities can be made available for such operations a6 we may be able to initiate immediately. . cont,

has been made with the Navy in this regard.

It has become obvious that underseas vehicles are most useful for research in biology and geology. The Institution hopes to add greativ tc ability to secure useful information from the sea through the charter and use of industrially produced underseas vehicles. The Institution has been able to beg space on one of the vehicles. Additional funds would make it possib for us to try several vehicles and to determine their effectiveness research.

Under its obligation to insure that the national collections are if the Institution plans to work with scientists and predoctorate stude utilize as fully as possible the available talent for the classi: of marine organisms. Financial support of travel and advancec be given support by the Institution in cases where the resear, the national interest.

Although able to carry out minimal operations with existing facilities and equipment, the Institution requires a substantial expenditure for modernizing its oceanographic equipment and instrumentation. Funds for this modernization are requested.

Working within existing budget restrictions our oceanologic program is designed to aid its personnel in maintaining outstanding performance in its field of competence. Within increased funding; a few additional persons would be employed to provide for more effective coordination of the Institution's service functions with the university and government agency users of marine scientific information. The proposed program, as increased, is within the reasonable capabilites of the Institution to provide a conservative but sound biological and geological research effort in the natural history area.

The Institution is continuing its liaison with outstanding members of the scientific community in order to insure that it remains responsive to the plans of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Oceanography and other scientific oceanologic groups.
