One idea that appeals to me is the idea of building in the 

 right kind -- and I think it was suggested by Mr. Gottschalk 

 earlier — of building in the right kind of relationship with 

 international institutions that would represent the internation- 

 al community as a whole or which might represent the needs 

 of certain segments of the international community, specifi- 

 cally those which are most in need of — or could most bene- 

 fit, let's say, from the large scale development of new 

 sources of protein. 



MR. HARGROVE: Well if I may just press this one moment, 

 that doesn't quite answer the question. 



The question, more precisely is: Do you expect that 

 you will get to the so-called "decisive meeting" without hav- 

 ing any real pressure applied from states falling outside 

 this group to be allowed to crash the party. 



MR. SCULLY: Which group do you mean? The group that's 

 other than consultative — 



MR. JAMES BARNES: The Group of 77. 



MR. HARGROVE: I would assume that the Section III here 

 at least implies that participants in this recommendation 

 had in mind that the group negotiating the final regime would 

 be the consulting parties and those who are engaged in research 

 and exploitation with respect to these resources -- and there 

 has been talk in public fora by people who don't fall into 

 that class, about the concept that this resource might be treat- 

 ed as something the economic grant of which belongs to the 

 international -- members of the international communities ... 

 ought to participate in the negotiating arrangements for the 

 exploitation. 



Do you feel that that is a practical problem? 



MR. SCULLY: I am not in a position of predicting. It's 

 potentially a problem, obviously. 



Again, looking at it from a personal point of view, I 

 think the implications of accepting a premise that in seme 

 fashion the international community might claim economic "rent" 

 for resources on what we would consider to be the high seas, 

 that there's some obligation to share that with the inter- 

 national community as a whole — are interesting. 



I don't know whether this probably will arise or not. 

 I would hope that a rational means can be found to solve it.
