Continental Shelf. During the discussions on this bill in Committee. the question was raised. "Why do U.S. companies hire foreign employees overseas?" The answer is simple in that most nations require by law. or encourage. only its nationals to be employed over their continental shelf. The same policy is reflected in our own visa and immigration laws. and in our OCS laws. We cannot expect other nations to be different. At the same time. our judicial policy toward foreigners injured thousands of miles from the United States in an offshore oil and gas field should be in conformity with the national practices of the foreign competitors of U.S. companies.
