<br />13l:J;j <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />officials of the State as a whole. We <br />want to expand this program into water <br />purification and related areas. <br />, <br /> <br />Naval Hydrodynamics. Our interest <br />here is uncovering information of direct <br />benefit to our national defense efforts on <br />submarines hydrofoil seaplanes and large <br />ships, particularly aircraft carriers_.arld <br />particularly, in fields associated with <br />warfare making use of missiles and in the mine <br />counter measures field. Prom there on it's <br />largely of a classified nature. The reason <br />this is of value to Colorado is as follows: <br />(l) Up until recently we were quite impregnable <br />to having our facilities destroyed by the enemy <br />compared to the other two facilities, one on <br />the West Coast and one on the East Coast. We <br />still feel to a certain extent, we have this <br />favorable location; and (2) boating is becoming <br />an ever: -, increasingly important recreation in <br />Colorado and the scientific information we are <br />uncovering in this defense oriented program is <br />certainly directly supporting the boating in- <br />dustry as it will develop in this State. I <br />won't go into a long winded story on how this <br />all works in. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Support of the program. The magnitude of <br />the program has doubled in the last three years. <br />Now let me explain to you how it has doubled. <br />Our sources of support three years ago was dis- <br />tributed as follows: we received around $17,000 <br />from the State of Colorado - state monies. We <br />received $14,000 from Federal sources through <br />the experiment station. We received at that <br />time under our CSURP or contract research pro- <br />gram, $110,000. This year we received $19,000 <br />from the SLate as compared to $17,000 three <br />years ago" $16,000 from Federal as compared to <br />$14,000 tnree years ago but our contract and <br />qrantresearch has jumped from $110,000 to <br />$320,000. All right, how was this distributed? <br />In general it means Lhat our research program <br />in civil engineering is supported 5% from the <br />State of Colorado, approximately 5% from Fed- <br />eral support through the Station, and 90% on <br />contracts and grants. You could expect,in <br />general, that this same distribution would <br />apply in terms of total money that would go <br />into the programl to the one that we presented <br />to you this morn ng, as to this total program. <br />
