International Continental Shelf Action
“Forthcoming Presently”—White House
Although due to the death of the presidency.
President Kennedy, Representative
Ralph J. Rivers 'had to return to
Washington before coming to Ko
diak this week as scheduled, his
wife Martha brought highly encour
aging news from the congressman
when she arrived here Monday.
Enactment into law of the bill
to protect marine resources, in
cluding king crab, on or attached
to the Continental Shelf and which
provides for seizure and heavy
fines for foreign vessels encroach
ing on our territorial waters, is
predicted by Rep. Rivers. The
measure has already passed the
Senate.
The congressman also revealed
that the White House has reason
to believe that the one additional
ratification needed to bring into
force the 1958 Conference on the
Continental Shelf “will be forth
coming presently.”
Following is the full text of
Congressman Rivers’ statement as
released by his wife:
“There will be no adjournment
of the Congress this year, so 1
won’t have my usual couple of
months on the home front. Mrs.
Jttvers and I came up from Wash
ington, DC. for a Thanksgiving
week recess, which included a vis
it in Kodiak, but now that the
•tunning tragedy of the death of
President Kennedy has occurred, I
must return to Washington to at
tend, his funeral and be present
with my congressional colleagues
•t a joint session of Congrasf to
bo addressed by our new PreaMaot,
Lyndon B. Johnson, who must now
assume the crushing burden! of

“As the present session of the
88th Congress comes to a close, it
seems to me that the legislation of
most significance to the people of
Kodiak are the bills S. 1988 by
Senator Bartlett and my compan
ion bill, H. R. 7954, pending in the
House. S. 1988 has passed the Sen
ate, and my urgent request to
Rep. Herbert C. Bonner, chairman
of the Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries, for a hear
ing by his committee has met with
a friendly response and the like
lihood of timely action and pass
age next year. In its favor is an
endorsement of this legislation by
the Administration. The purpose of
these bills is to protect our terri
torial waters from encroachment
by foreign fishing vessels and co
preserve our marine resouces on,
or attached to the Continental
Shelf. The bills also define viola
tions and prescribe penalties.
“In response to my recent letter
to the President asking for the 12
mile limit for our fisheries, and
assertion of a U. S. claim to re
sources of the Continental Shelf,
I received a fairly encouraging let
ter from the White House, written
by Mr. Lee C. White, Assistant
Special Counsel to the President.
After being noncommittal as to the
idea of establishing a 12-mile fish
ing zone, Mr. White spoke of the
resources of the Continental Sheif
as follows: “With regard to a claim
to resources of the Continental
Shelf that appertain to the United
States, I am not certain that do
mestic legislation provides a prop
