The committee outlined a propose budget of $2.6 million which would provide $100,000 for Laboratory equipment and expenditures of $250,000 annually Over the 10 years for Field surveys Laboratory analysis and engineering studies. The program would be conducted both by . Government agencies and by con tracts with universities or commercial organizations. In a technical memorandum supporting the proposals the committee said that the floor of the deep sea is known to be covered in Many places with Large Low Grade deposits of Cobalt Copper Nickel another rare materials. Preliminary studies of the economics of developing these potential ores indicate that it May be possible to mine the deep sea floor profitably if a few technical prob lems can be solved the memorandum  committee said sea water contains a Large variety of minerals in the form of dissolved salts. The extraction of sea Salt by evaporation is an ancient Industry but Salt recovery has now been extended to the production of sodium sulphate potassium Chloride and of Tchlo ride cements. During the International geophysical year Large quantities of manganese Bear ing nodules were found on the floor of the South Pacific and another recent Dis covery of Large concentrations of these nodules was found at shallow Depths of the Southeastern coast of the . The committee on oceanography also estimated that the Continental shelves of the world extend Over 12 million Square Miles and contains 30 million cubic Miles of possible Oil bearing sediments. Recent estimates have indicated that the . Continental shelves alone even with present production methods could be made to yield 20 billion barrels of crude Petroleum and perhaps 150 billion cubic feet of Gas. In Continental shelves of the entire world there Are believed to be about 400 billion barrels of recoverable Petroleum reserves. Extensive geophysical and geological prospecting has been done in recent years in the Gulf of Mexico off California and in the persian Gulf to discover under water Oil and Gas Fields and some such Fields Are now producing.
