Admiral Paul F. Lee, USN, Chief of the Office of Naval Research who, appreciating the significance of the scientific program, authorized Naval support for the expedition. Remapped from RARE air photos by Searle of the FIDS in 1960; remapped by USGS from U.S. Navy air phots, 1967-68, and Landsat imagery taken 1972-73.
