moratorium may not agree with the policy we have set 
forth. Some who support the approach in H.R. 9 may be 
equally disappointed. For the present, we think the 
middle course we have outlined is best. We hope the 
Committee will agree. However, we fully understand 
that the Committee, like the Administration, may wish 
to pay close and continuing attention to developments 
that could alter this assessment. We pledge our full 
cooperation with the Committee in those efforts. 
The Office of Management and Budget advises that 
from the standpoint of the Administration's program 
there is no objection to the submission of this report. 
Sincerely, 
Chanles Nv. BrAra— 
Charles N. Brower 
Acting Legal Adviser and 
Acting Chairman, Inter-Agency 
Task Force on the Law of the Sea
