again voiced strong opposition to
the recommendation of the Inter

Commission that Japan be per
mitted to fish for halibut in the
eastern Bering Sea.
In a letter to President Kennedy,
Egan urged rejection of the rec

states and elsewhere throughout
our nation that the government of
our United States is at least em

gram to perpetuate its fisheries
resources for present and future
generations.”
Egan said the recommendation
