House OKs 200 Mile Fishing Limit
The House approved a 208 to 101 vote a bill banning foreign fishing within 200 miles of the U.S. coast, challenging Ford administration arguments. Supporters say the limit protects stocks and U.S. fishermen from efficient trawlers from Japan and Soviet bloc nations. The measure would lapse when the U.N. fishing treaty is ratified, effective July 1, with foreign fishing allowed only if stocks are ample and conditions negotiated.
