title: THE NAVY'S OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM.
abstract: No plan for broad cooperative work which has been proposed in recent years offers such possibilities of benefit to all as the Navy's plan for oceanographic work. No precedent is involved in its adoption, for in times of peace oceanographic studies heretofore have always been an important part of the Navy's duties. With these closing words I commend the plan to you as most worthy of your consideration and support.
