The CHAIRMAN. The subcommittee will come to order.

This morning the Subcommittee on Merchant Marine com-
mences hearings on MarAd oversight and the fiscal year 1980
authorization to authorize appropriations for certain maritime pro-
grams for the coming fiscal year.

We begin work on this important legislation at a critical time for America's maritime interests. President Carter stated the issue well in his state of the Union message on January 25, 1979, when he observed that changes in our national maritime policy are overdue, and emphasized, and I quote: we must improve the ability of our merchant marine to win a fair share of our cargo *** Improvement of our merchant marine is the principales cern of this subcommittee, and the full committee as we... and I welcome the opportunity to focus on that objective in these pa ceedings.

and determined by our capacity to do what must be done. In that respect, it is clear that we must retain and enhance our ability to transit international waters as worldwide traders in first-rate vessels in a competitive posture.

During the last 2 years as the chairman of this committee, I have often stated my goals for the American merchant marine. I can restate them today in one sentence: To see America once again ascend to uncontested maritime preeminence in the world, ready and able to lead the way. To that end, I pledge the best efforts of this committee.
