Description:Excerpt from The Annual Authorization for the Panama Canal Commission and the Annual Authorization for the United States Maritime Administration: Hearings Before the Special Oversight Panel on the Merchant Marine of the Committee on National Security, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session House of Representatives, Committee on National Security, Special Oversight Panel on the Merchant Marine, Washington, DC, Tuesday, March 5, 1996. The panel met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m., in room 2337, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Herbert H. Bateman (chairman of the panel) presiding. Opening Statement of Hon. Herbert H. Bateman, A Representative from Virginia, Chairman, Special Oversight Panel on the Merchant Marine Mr. Bateman. The panel will come to order. In today's hearing we will cover two very important topics, the annual authorization for the Panama Canal Commission and the annual authorization for the U.S. Maritime Administration. As many in the audience know, the National Security Committee assumed legislative and budget authority over these two agencies with the House rules change in 1995. I apologize for having to have this hearing so early in the cycle when all of the budget data is not available. However, please be assured that this material will be provided as soon as it is released. Nevertheless, I believe there are a sufficient number of issues that need to be examined that it makes sense to proceed with this hearing at this time. For both of these agencies, the level of the operational budget has not been a point of contention. I believe that will be the case again this year. In the case of the Maritime Administration, the big issue this year will hopefully be the implementation of the Maritime Security Act of 1995. I hope to be assured today that this agency is fully prepared for what is to be a historic event. We on this panel fought hard and successfully to get this legislation approved by the House. Many doubted whether it could be done. I would be remiss at this point if I did not commend the members of the panel for their support during the drafting stage and during the floor debate. The range of support from all elements of the political spectrum was truly amazing. I understand and indeed hope the Senate will shortly follow suit. In the case of the Panama Canal Commission, we had a similar success story. This panel worked closely with the Administration and the Canal Commission to develop and pass legislation that has been stalled in the Congress.
