This margin of safety against misguided decisions by the World Court is more than adequate to reasonably protect our interests. Actually. in order to secure the necessary twothirds support for a resolution removing our veto power. it may be necessary to include in any revised declaration filed by the United States a specification of matters which we consider to be within our domestic jurisdiction. The three particular matters which immediately come to mind are immigration. tariffs. and the Panama Canal. There may well be others as to which it will be prudent to state that they are deemed by the United States to be within our domestic jurisdiction and therefore not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court. It should be made clear. of course. that the three matters I have mentioned are not the only subjects of domestic jurisdiction. and if necessary. the list could be supplemented from time to time.
