Whereas President James Monroe, announcing the Monroe Doctrine in 1823. declared to the Congress that we should consider any attempt on the part of European powers "to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety."

Whereas in the Rio Treaty of 1947 the parties agreed that "an armed attack by any State against an American State shall be considered as an attack against all the American States, and, consequently, each one of the said contracting parties undertakes to assist in meeting the attack in the exercise of the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations."

Whereas the Foreign Ministers of the Organization of American States at Punta del Este in January 1962 unanimously declared—

"The present Government of Cuba has identified itself with the principles of Marxist-Leninist ideology, has established a political, economic, and social system based on that doctrine. and accepts military assistance from extracontinental Communist powers, including even the threat of military intervention in America on the part of the Soviet Union;"

Whereas since 1958 the international Communist movement has increasingly extended into Cuba its political, economic, and military sphere of influence: Now. therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate the House of Representatires concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the President of the United States is supported in his determination and possesses all necessary authority (a) to prevent, by whatever means may be necessary, including the use of arms, the Castro regime from exporting its aggressive purposes to any part of this hemisphere by force or the threat of force: (b) to prevent in Cuba the creation or use of an externally supported offensive military base capable of endangering the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo, free passage to the Panama Canal, United States missile and space preparations, or the security of this Nation and its citizens; and (c) to work with other free citizens of this hemisphere and with freedom-loving Cuban refugees to support the legitimate aspirations of the people of Cuba for a return to selfdetermination.

Whereas estuarine fishery resources, to which little attention has been devoted on a worldwide basis in spite of their

increasing importance as a source of human food, present unique scientific and technical problems; and
