Budget was less than half of the total world budget (about 13 million for 1981 ). The U.S. portion of the subseabed research is expected to de crease during the near future as more countries have expressed an interest in the concept. Belgium, Canada, the EEC, West Germany, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States attended the 1981 meeting of the Seabed Working Group. (Anderson, D.
