Both the House bill and the Senate amendmentsection 6prescribe terms of sale of warbuilt vessels to persons not citizens of the United States. Both prohibit the sale to noncitizens of passengertype and bulk drycargo Libertytype vesselscolliers. To this prohibition is added in the conference bill a prohibition against the sale to noncitizens of Liberty tankers as a corollary action of the conferees with respect to the pricing provisions for Libertytype tankers for sale to citizens.

The Senate amendment Increased this number to 10. but excluded therefrom C3type vessels. The conference bill adopts the larger number.
