  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;In 1976 the U.S. Geological Survey undertook a program to sample the eastern United States Shelf for stratigraphic information by drilling a set of core holes. Results of this Atlantic Margin Coring Program (AMCOR) have been reported by Hathaway and others. Sites were chosen from seismic-reflection data and were reviewed by a safety panel to minimize the risk of penetrating any hydrocarbon accumulation which might lead to environmental contamination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The M-V-L'OLONNOIS, the service ship for the drilling operation, was fitted with seismic-reflection profiling equipment (listed below), to run seismic-reflection profiles before drilling began on each hole. This provided additional assurance that no closed structures would be penetrated and allowed minor adjustment with the site selection. A total of 491 km of high-resolution seismic profiles was collected on 22 sites.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Equipment used (specifics for each site noted on records):&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; Bolt Air Guns 1-40 cubic inch chambers &lt;br&gt; EPC Recorder &lt;br&gt; Teledyne Minisparker (last two sites) &lt;br&gt; Navigation used two Internav 101 Loran-C receivers.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
