Have I guepesed. your reaction ccrrectly? Pretty nearly. KULPs In the worldwide assay, I think the {ep . point is that we're on a classified basis, and it would b impossible for theze research ships to get a wide enough distribution in a certain period of tise, whereas if you gould just ask any ship of a major line and ordered some barrels put on board simply because the captain was interested in ti protlea, you could get a complete sampling of the &tlanti¢ in a matter of a couple of nonthe. Whereas if you had to sefd out @ particular classified ship to get these samples, it would take you years to do the sace thing. As far as the bottom sangles are concerned, that's a problem of technique, and only a #esearch vessel equipced with very special equipment to take it, bit you aight only want « few sauples anyway, | I don't believe that I presented Dr. Bugher's point quite Fight.
