Hon. WARREN MAGNUSON,

Chairman, Senate Commerce Committee,
Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C.

NATIONAL AUDUBON SOCIETY,
New York, N.Y., February 24, 1966.

DEAR SENATOR MAGNUSON: The National Audubon Society wishes to be recorded as favoring enactment of S. 2102, the bill to protect and conserve the North Pacific fur seals, and to administer the Pribilof Islands for the conservation of fur seals and other wildlife and for other purposes. Will you please see that this letter is included in the printed transcript of hearings on this legislation.

We also favor and urge adoption of the amendments to S. 2102 as recommended by Assistant Secretary of the Interior Stanley A. Cain in his letter to you of February 17, 1966. It is especially important that the sea otter not be left without Federal protection in North American coastal waters beyond the 3-mile limit, within which this rare animal is safeguard by State law and patrol. Therefore, we call the attention of the committee respectfully to the proposed "Title III: Protection of Sea Otters on the High Seas," as recommended in Secretary Cain's letter.

We hope that S. 2102, with the recommended amendments, will soon receive a favorable report by your committee.

Sincerely yours,

CHARLES H. CALLISON,
Assistant to the President.
