Mr. GILES. Yes, sir. As a matter of fact, the guideline rates largely that we have been working with were published in 1957, with some amendments since then. So that led to the conclusion, and it was a judgment, Mr. Chairman, that the Secretary of Commerce and other officials made after considering the facts, that we would be justified in specifying for the larger ships, and we drew the line at 15,600 deadweight tons, a minimum 20-percent rate. That would be their top rate for the larger vessels, and we published that after having a conference with representatives of the shipping associations, the four shipping associations.

This conference was held by Under Secretary Roosevelt on November 8.

Mr. CHAIRMAN. Let me interrupt you just a minute, Mr. Giles. Mr. GILES. Yes, sir.

The CHAIRMAN. In your voyage charter rate guidelines you state: The rates established and issued in the form of rate advices by the Maritime Administration in 1957, and subsequent thereto, will continue to be used for the transportation of U.S. Government-sponsored commodities moving in full cargo lots on U.S.-flag vessels and will be applicable to such vessels of 10,000 deadweight tons to 15,500 TDWT.

But you didn't say what these rates were in 1957 and I would like to have it in the record.

Mr. GILES. Mr. Chairman, there are several sheets of those covering the many ports that we ship Government cargo to and we can furnish and will furnish those for the record.

The CHAIRMAN. What I would like to have is the rates to the ports to which this cargo would likely move.

Mr. GILES. We can furnish those and will for the record and we have attached to this material now at hand only the voyage charter rates for the Soviet ports, and we had not published, of course, rates for Soviet ports prior to this because we haven't been sending any Public Law 480 shipments to the Soviet Union.
