Statement of Administration Policy: H.R. 1171 - National Oceans Policy Commission Act of 1987
September 17, 1987
(House)
(Jones (D) North Carolina and 16 others)
The administration opposes enactment of H.R. 1171. The proposed National Oceans Policy Commission would unnecessarily duplicate the existing institutional framework for addressing ocean policy issues. Additionally, the administration has expressed constitutional objections to the manner in which the proposed entity would be established.
