I think this is a very complex subject. There is no question about it. 



I believe that the mood of America is, rightly or wrongly, reflected 

 in some of the things that have been said here by several members of 

 the committee with respect to protecting our own interests first. 



I know in discussing it individually with some members of the 

 Presidential Commission who are business people they like the Prado 

 resolution. I think big business perhaps can do better business with 

 perhaps one central organization for exploitation of minerals and oils 

 particularly. 



This is a really complex subject, gentlemen. We appreciate your 

 attendance here this morning and your willingness to talk frankly 

 about some of these problems which are involved. 



We look forward to having the opportunity of hearing you again 

 next year so we can follow this up. 



I had a series of questions I wanted to ask but I have word we are 

 supposed to be on the floor very shortly. We will have to wish you a 

 Meriy Christmas and look forward to next year. 



Mr. Pollack. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
