The subcommittee met at 10:15 a.m., pursuant to call, in room 1334 Longworth House Office Building, Hon. Edward A. Garmatz (chairman of the committee) presiding. The CHAIRMAN. The subcommittee will come to order, please. The purpose of the hearing we are holding today is to receive testimony from the Department of Commerce and the Maritime Administration concerning the Maritime Administration program for ocean shipping as embodied in the budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1968. From time to time in the past, at the opening of a new Congress or a new session, we have held similar hearings covering the activities of the agencies under our jurisdiction. I believe the hearing we are holding today is of somewhat more than the usual importance in view of the state of the merchant marine program-and our interest in the matter of annual review and authorization of such programs. As background information, on February 1 I wrote to the Honorable Alexander B. Trowbridge, Acting Secretary of Commerce, as follows: On January 1, I had a very pleasant and worthwhile visit with Secretary Connor in connection with problems confronting the Congress and the Executive Branch concerning the merchant marine. At that time we discussed the interest of this committee in enacting legislation which would require authorization of maritime programs prior to the making of appropriations. Legislation to that end was reported from the committee last year but was not acted upon before adjournment. Identical bills are presently pending before us. During our meeting I suggested that it might be desirable as a first order of business in this session to call upon the Secretary of Commerce and the Maritime Administrator to appear before the committee as soon as practicable after the budget message had been received to present testimony on the maritime program for fiscal year 1968. I was pleased that Mr. Connor concurred with me as to the desirability of such a course. This was, in fact, in line with a proposal made on behalf of the Department at our hearings last year on the authorization legislation. In view of the foregoing, I would like to schedule such a hearing for Wednesday, February 15, 1967, at which time testimony on behalf of the Secretary and the Maritime Administrator would be presented outlining the details of the maritime program for fiscal 1968. |
