general investigations with a view to preventing erosion of the
shores of the United States by waves and currents and determining
the most suitable methods for the protection, restoration, and
development of beaches; and to publish from time to time such
useful data and information concerning the erosion and protection
of beaches and shore lines as the Center may deem to be of value to
the people of the United States. The cost of the general
investigations authorized by sections 426a to 426d of this title
shall be borne wholly by the United States. As used in said
