may participate in the resources of the sea. Accompanying the licens- 
ing feature of which Senator Pell spoke, there should be a revenue 
plan which I hope he will incorporate in his treaty. The fees from 
the licensing feature might be used to strengthen the U.N., and par- 
ticularly to be used in a development fund for the developing peoples. 
Indeed, that might be the only way in the beginning in which these 
people can participate and benefit from the exploration of the sea. 
The revenue might carry some of the expenses of the sea guard. 
But I am also thinking for the moment of our own businessmen— 
the courageous people in this country that have the capacity and 
technique to develop the resources of the sea that are going to be so 
badly needed. They must not be denied. But certainly they would 
have a greater sense of security if their area of exploration were 
guaranteed under the licensing feature of the U.N., than under the 
anarchy with which they are now faced—anarchy that might call 
forth means of defense and probably conflict. 
Mr. Chairman, the development of the world community is a tough 
and continuous process. In this you have played an important part, 
including your service as a delegate to the United Nations General 
Assembly. Outside of our present conflicts, which have to be resolved, 
for us to save seven-tenths of the earth’s surface from a new colonial 
race and power struggle is about the most important thing to which 
we could devote ourselves. Senator Pell has produced “the paper.” 
Senator Sparkman. Thank you very much, Mr. Kichelberger. It is a 
very fine statement, as yours always are. I am going to let Senator Pell 
preside since I have a 12:30 appointment. We have one more witness. 
Can you stay on? 
Senator Pru. Yes. 
Senator Sparkman, I appreciate it. I regret very much not getting 
to hear Mr. Stephan. I would like to hear his testimony, but if I may 
be excused, I will leave it to you. 
Senator Peri. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for your pa- 
tience and kindness. 
OCEAN SPACE SOVEREIGNTY IN THE UNITED NATIONS 
Am I correct in saying that one of the first proposals for the turn- 
ing over of the sovereignty, giving the sovereignty of the ocean space 
to the United Nations, was done by Grenville Clark before he died, 
and his group in New Hampshire? 
Mr. Ercuripercer. Yes, I believe so. There have been quite a num- 
ber of proposals. Mr. Clark was quite interested in the work of this 
organization. 
Senator Prix. I wonder if it would not be appropriate, in view of 
Senator Clark’s association, 1f we insert in the record at this point the 
proposal of Mr. Grenville Clark and anything you would care to put 
im at a later date in the record.
