MiNErA. objected to a noise exemption for aircraft stopping in nonterritorial areas. such as Honolulu. Without the ability to stop in Honolulu. the exemption was considered to be of no value and it was agreed to drop it. The House also dropped the Senate provisions of section 14 which would have amended the Immigration and Nationality Act to correct an inconsistency in the immigration law that allows alien crewmen on foreign vessels to get shore leave while denying the same alien crewmen shore leave if they work on U.S. vessels. This section was dropped because the House Immigration Subcommittee insisted that the provision be moved as a freestanding bill under its jurisdiction. The subcommittee has since passed such a measure and it is expected to be passed by the Senate Immigration Subcommittee shortly. In addition to these changes the House amendments made modifications to section 10. approving the new 7year financial assistance agreement between the United States and the Northern Mariana Islands. This agreement is sound and has the full support of the United States and the Northern Mariana Islands. the two governments that negotiated the agreement.
