Fe-..,..ary 10,1977 . CO Approved 'Third, under the law, each foreign fishing vessel must have its permit Ph3,5'i-- cello, onbcard en March 1. Again, time biotite will prevent this, and the resolu- tion waives this requirement if the per- mits are approved until a later date. Finally, to receive permits for its ves- sels, each .nation must pay a license fee in advance under the law. But since the amount of the fee to be paid by each nation will not be known until allocation of catch is made to each fishing nation, we face the same procedural hangup. The resolution would therefore -waive this requirement, on a one-time basis only, and make the payment of fees a condition subsequent to fishing rather than a condition precedent. Fees will be paid in a reasonable period of time after March 1, If they are not paid, fishing must cease. ? - ? In summary, Mr. President, this reso- lution must be approved as soon so that we do not receive pressure to delay the effective date of the 200-mile-limit law. These changes made by the resolution are one-time only and are procedural in nature. I urge my colleagues to vote fa- vorably on House . joint Resolution 240. Mr. PELL. Mr. President, normally, House joint Resolution 240 would be jointly referred to the Foreign Relations Committee and the Commerce Commit- tee. However, in view of the urgency expressed by the administration, both committees have ?waived their rights to a referral. It: should be noted that this action should not be taken as a precedent for similar legislation, nor should it be Interpreted as a diminishing of the For- eign Relations Committee's jurisdiction in the area of international oceans af- fairs or the Commerce Committee's jurisdiction in oceans policy. It is merely a recognition by the both committees of a need on the part .of the administra- tion for quick congressional relief. . As many Senators know, the enforce- ment provisions of the Fishery Conserva- tion and Management Act (P.L. 94-265) will go into effect on March 1, 1977. This act will create a 200-mile fishery con- servation zone within which the United States will exercise exclusive manage- ment authority over various. fisheries. In accordance with Public Law 94-2A, .the Department of State has reviewed all existing _fishery agreements and ini- tiated negotiations to revise those pro- visions inconsistent With the act. To date, international agreements have been negotiated with the Soviet Union, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, the Republic of China, Korea, and East Ger- many. Six of these have been submitted to the Congress. However, the 60-day entry into force period provided for in the act will not elapse for any of these agreements prior to the March 1 enforce- ment date. The administration, at a hearing chairedlast Thursday?February 3?be- -.fore the Subcommittee on Oceans and :International Environment, urgently re- quested the Congress to approve these agreements by an affirmative action in a joint resolution so that they may enter into force before the March 1 enforce- ment date_ It is necessary that these agreements enter Into force before the NGRESSIONAL.

In addition to approving the agree- ments, House joint Resolution 240 will: First, reduce the time in which the eight Regional Fishery Management Councils created by Public Law 94-285 may com- ment on foreign permit applications sub- mitted pursuant to the above agreements from 45 days to 7 days; second, provide that the provisions of the Federal Ad- visory Committee Act shall not apply in the actions of any Council in preparing such comments; third, exempt until May 1, 1977, foreign vessels fishing pursuant to the above agreements from the pro- visions of Public Law- 94-265 requiring them to have U.S. permits physically on RECESS TO I.

The American fishing. industry does- Warren M. Christopher, of California, to be Deputy Secretary of state, vice Charles W. Robinson, resigned. have difficulties with a number of the provisions in some of the agreements. Specifically, the industry is concerned about such things as: First, the granting of port privileges; second, the continua- tion of joint Claims Boards; and third, the establishment of multilateral scien- tific fishery organizations which might have an input in the determination of op- timum yield in various American fish- eries. In view of these concerns, the industry has urged the State Department to work closely with the American fishermen in order to develop amendments which ad- dress their concerns. They have also urged the Department to submit such amendments at the earliest possible re- view date to the various foreign govern- ments with which we have concluded fishery agreements. However, despite these problems the industry is more concerned that the Fish- eries Management and Conservation Act enter into force on March 1, 1977. There- fore, industry has expressed in private consultation and in public testimony support for this resolution. I urge the Senate to vote in favor of House Joint Resolution 240 and thereby expedite the implementation of the Fish- eries Management and Conservation Act, The PRESIDING OFFICER.
