Oceanography -- Research United States; Environmental protection -- Research United States; Military research -- United States. 117 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, MA 02543 Phone: (508) 548-1400 Telex; 951679. 30 August 1993 The Hon. Solomon P. Ortiz Chedrmaji, Subcommittee on Oceanography, Gulf of Mexico, axid the Outer Continental Shelf House of Representatives Room 1334, Longworth House Office Building Washington, 20515-6230 Dear Mr. Ortiz: Thank you very much for your letter of 11 August 1993 (Xerox attached). I much enjoyed talking to your subcommittee. With regard to the further questions that I have been asked (Xerox attached): I have had in the past minimal problems interacting with federal agencies in generad, amd DoD in particular, and this will probably be the Ccise for mamy academics in the physical sciences. But there can be problems with paxticulEir agencies or paxticulair programs. It is aJso true that the overall level of bureaucracy associated with research has gotten higher and higher during my career, now spanning over 30 years. Surprisingly, the National Science Foundation has been at the forefront of supporting large programs hke WOCE that have placed a heavy management burden on scientists who are supposed to be focusing on research. This hais occurred at the expense of projects with one or a few principal investigators, and is a trend most academics woiild like to see reversed. Indeed, small projects were at the core of the original NSF mission. Projects involving large management teams can be carried out by the mission agencies. Sincerely, , WiUiam J. Schmitz, Jr. Senior Scie
