Motions and Consensus Statements Requiring Action by ODP/TAMU
EXCOM Consensus 96-1-4:
EXCOM endorses a wording change to the JOI ODP Policy manual so that the Conflict of
Interest section 11.03 will read as follows:
11.03: When participating in the Ocean Drilling Program as part of the shipboard scientific
party, a full-time Ocean Drilling Program employee will not receive additional salary
compensation. A full-time Ocean Drilling Program employee, working as part of the
shipboard scientific party on activities unrelated to his/her terms of employment in the Ocean
Drilling Program will be required to take leave without pay.
EXCOM Consensus 96-1-7:
Facing extreme hurricane conditions, 60- to 70-ft seas, and damage to critical navigation and
maneuvering systems while in iceberg-laden waters off Greenland, the crew of the JOIDES
Resolution extracted the vessel from danger and brought her safely to Halifax. The Executive
Committee recognizes the courage, skill, and fortitude displayed by the participants of Leg
163 and expresses its most sincere thanks to the crew, staff, and scientists, who even in the
most trying of circumstances epitomized the character and spirit of research, exploration, and
the pursuit of excellence.
