Senator MORSE. I think we should change it, if we can. I think that the admiral's point is well taken. I think that 6 years is a much better figure. The CHAIRMAN. Without objection, it may be done. Admiral JOHNSON. No, sir. The CHAIRMAN. Tomorrow morning the committee will consider, among other matters, docket No. 203, H. R. 5911, the bill to establish an Office of Naval Research and to establish a Naval Research Advisory Committee, and so forth. It may be that we will take up that bill in executive session. The committee is adjourned. (Whereupon, at 12:01 p. m., an adjournment was taken until 10:30 a. m., Wednesday, June 26, 1946.)
