graphically tell our story of "pure research in support of applied
research."
The nature of this film would be such that it would have wide
applicability and could be used by other organizations within the D.0O.E.
as well.
The amount of $6,000 requested in the FY 79 budget is an

Laboratory Users Fees.
The “parent organization” for the MPML within the University of
Hawaii has always been the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB).
This has been a productive relationship with a number of investigators
carrying out comparative research at both laboratories.
Indeed, in the
world of coral reef biology, the two laboratories are often thought of
as the best locations to work on tropical Pacific reefs.
The MPML office
in Hawaii is located at HIMB and all of our operations are conducted from
this location.
We derive. many benefits directly from HIMB in the form of
secretarial and bookkeeping services, shipping and handling of supplies
and equipment, and general support of the MPML office - supplies, electricity,
etc.
Recently, the HIMB instituted user's fees to help meet costs. . The
fees are based on 4% of on-campus (in Hawaii) salaries.
The estimated
amounts are shown under the category of Other Direct Costs in the FY 79
and FY 80 budgets.

Administrative and Maintenance Assistance.
Traditionally two persons from the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology
have gone to Enewetak twice each year to assist in the biannual inventories
of equipment and supplies, including chemicals and radio isotopes, and to
