“December 12, 1979

For our purposes, the sleeping quarters for the scientists on board have ~
been adaquate once the space limitations were recognized. ‘We would never
again plan to sail with a complement of 12 scientists on board since the
quarters become overly crowded and, because of this, personnel quickly become
irritable and are prone to complain excessively. It is quite easy to adjust
the people on board to the space and other limitations of the ship. Once
this is done, living for the scientists on board is comfortable, personnel
are agreeable and work is accomplished using fewer people with a higher
degree of efficiency.
In summary, for our program, the ship has provided us more than adequate
support and for this we are greatly appreciative.
Sincerely,

y.
