recommendations before they will actually 

 quote terms and rafes." Classification by 

 ABS, Lloyd's Register of Shipping and Ger- 

 manischer Lloyd is acceptable. Interestingly, 

 Dawson (a member of Lloyd's of London) 

 strongly opposes legislation which would 'po- 

 lice' the submersible industry because: 1) the 

 extraordinary record of safety in the indus- 

 try is proof of its safety consciousness, and 2) 

 the concept opens the prospect of certifica- 

 tion withdrawal for political reasons in order 

 to protect domestic operations from thrust- 

 ing exporters. 



Information regarding regulations on, 

 French, Italian or Russian vehicles is not 

 available.
