U S opposes ban on whale killing during moratorium debate
The Nixon administration opposes a 16 year pause on whaling while noting some species face extinction. State Department official Stuart Blow urges stronger IWC leadership to protect whales, citing bans on five endangered species and concerns about enforcement and effectiveness. Douglas Chapman argues against extending the moratorium, saying some whales may sustain limited harvest. Alaska quotes and lobbyist views round out the hearing.
