ESSA Assumes Greater Share Of Instrumentation Workload Compatibility of oceanographic in- strumentation systems is essential for deep ocean research and explora- tion, stated ESSA's Dr. Harris B. Stewart. Precise, exacting statements tell much about the character of this well-known scholar, oceanographer and administrator. He has such intense awareness of what is going on around him that it takes but a few moments of discussion with him before you are completely drawn up in the sense of urgency he educes. Far from being a chair-borne administrator, one need only look at the scuba gear, photos and other para- phernalia in his office, to deduce that Dr. Stewart would be just as at home on the deck of a research ship as he is within the confines of ESSA's head- quarters near Washington. Sandwiched between busy confer- ences and other pressing government matters, DATA was able to sit down with Dr. Stewart and listen as he talked on his favorite subject . . ESSA's Dr. Stewart looks right at home on the bridge of the USC&GS ship Pioneer. This photo was taken on the Indian Ocean Expedition of 1964. —USCI-GS Interview with Dr. Harris B. Stewart, Jr. Director, ESSA Institute for Oceanography Q. ESSA's budget for oceanographic instrumentation decreased from $1,- 062,000 in FY 1966 to $706,000 in fiscal year 1967. Does this indicate less emphasis by ESSA on the prob- lems related to oceanographic instru- mentation? A. I would hope that this isn't con- strued that way. One of the things that happens in Washington, as you probably know, is that numbers get
