Changing the oceans into "national lakes" could also lead to a great 

 rush on the part of all nations— including some very tiny islands— to 

 claim title to adj acent ocean bottom regions. 



This scramble could produce severe international tensions, restrict 

 the United States freedom to operate in all oceans, and have profound 

 repercussions on the entire structure of peace and order in the world. 



In brief, the issues involved in the resolutions before us transcend 

 simple economic considerations. They touch the very heart of our 

 national security and have direct bearing on the attainment of some 

 of our major foreign policy goals. 



To help us with our task, we are pleased to welcome three distin- 

 guished witnesses : 



Mr. Clark M. Eichelberger, chairman of the Commission to Study 

 the Organization of Peace; 



Mr. Aaron Danzig, chairman of the United Nations Charter Com- 

 mittee of the World Peace Through Law Center ; and 



Mr. Francis T. Christy, Jr., research associate of Resources for the 

 Future, Inc., who wiU be testifying in the capacity of an independent 

 expert rather than as a spokesman for the organization with which he 

 is associated. 



If there is no objection, I should like to put into the record brief 

 biographical sketches relating to our witnesses, prepared by the staff.
