Mr. Chairman, I would like to flag to the committee members that the two issues regarding international law.... I am no longer a lawyer, so I'm not going to comment on legal points, but UNCLOS was one convention, and the civil liability convention was the other. I alluded to the civil liability convention earlier. I just wanted to flag that issue two and issue three in the letter provided by the acting ADM, Cynthia Wright, do address the issues of UNCLOS and the civil liability convention. I believe the members have the copy of that letter.
