get out here and be interviewed on any subject matter and get publicity 
on every news media in the land but things that are vital and essential 
to the welfare of people don’t get that kind of attention. 
I say that hopefully that the representatives of the news media here 
will requote the distinguished Senator and requote Mr. Drucker’s state- 
ment. 
In connection with a matter that has been discussed so much in detail, 
the international law of the sea and its implications, I am going to ask 
something of our new counsel who is making his first appearance, and 
I did not take the time to introduce him since most of you have had the 
pleasure of meeting him, the former distinguished professor of law 
at one of our great universities, a person who is a graduate of the Coast 
Guard Academy and who had a very distinguished career in the Coast 
Guard, and then when he left the Coast Guard after serving with dis- 
tinction and honor in that great organization, he pursued the course 
of his desire, law, especially in the field of international law. I am 
going to ask him to take your statement, particularly that latter part 
of it and try to study it and get the information from the statement 
that you said that you would secure for us made by someone before 
your committee. We are going to put you on this board and make a wit- 
ness out of you. We are going to want you to redevelop what has been 
said here this morning so that we can go into that in some special 
session. 
Thank you very much, Senator. 
Did you want to ask a question ? 
Mr. Kerru. I want to apologize for my inability to get here sooner. 
I have been as interested in the subject as anybody. 
Mr. Lennon. You just go right ahead, sir. 
Mr. Kerrn. Not having been here for your statement and not having 
heard the discussion that has been provoked by your comments, I have 
only one question. First, however, I would like to compliment the Sen- 
ator on the progressive role that he is playing in developing a discus- 
sion of this subject and a widespread knowledge of it. 
My one question is: Have you solicited, by chance, the opinion of the 
eminent scientist Dr. Paul Fye at Woods Hole as you developed your 
views on this subject ? 
Senator Prix. I know Dr. Fye. We have exchanged correspondence, 
and I have not specifically asked him for his comment on Senate Reso- 
lution 33, no. But I have addressed meetings in which he has been a 
participant. 
Mr. Kerrn. Thank you. I will be glad to ask Dr. Fye for his com- 
ments. He has been before this committee on many occasions. 
Senator Pett. He would make an excellent witness. 
Mr. Lennon. Thank you, Mr. Keith. 
Thank you, Senator. 
Senator Peri. Thank you. 
Mr. Lennon. We are very honored this morning to have the gentle- 
man whose name I mentioned earlier, Mr. Northcutt Ely, who is the 
chairman of the Committee on Deep Sea Mineral Resources of the 
American Branch of the International Law Association, and a mem- 
ber of the Council of the Natural Resources ‘Section of the American 
Bar Association. 
Mr. Ely, will you come forward ?
