Mr. JOHNSON. Yes. It was established, I think, very shortly after that, but I would have to check up on that. Mr. MURPHY. How long are these long-range charters that these companies entered into? Mr. JOHNSON. I am not really competent to testify on that. I understand they have varying terms and some of them may run for several years or more, but I am sure that the experts in the Maritime Administration would be able to give you much more accurate information on this. Mr. MURPHY. Mr. Chairman, could we have those terms, the items in the blacklist, just what they constitute, made a part of the record? Mr. DOWNING (presiding). Is the Secretary able to furnish that information? Mr. JOHNSON. I am not sure that I understand exactly what you have in mind. Mr. MURPHY. The regulations that effect the blacklist. Mr. JOHNSON. Yes, surely, we would be glad to supply them. Mr. DOWNING. Would you put them in the record when they become available? Mr. JOHNSON. Yes, sir.
