Recently the House passed a bill of mine which would tighten up the Fishermens Protective Act so that the amounts of these fines would be deducted from any allocation of money under our foreign aid program. Pending the outcome of this legislation in the Senate I have refrained from offering amendments of a similar nature to other bills in which Latin American countries have an interest. However. I am frank to say. Congress should tighten the antiseizure provisions of the Foreign Assistance Act and the same is true of the sugar quota bill. Originally I thought I would try to amend the International Coffee Agreement but. perhaps mistakenly. I am constrained to delay such action until I know the outcome of any bill to tighten the Fishermans Protective Act.
