This appropriation provides for the payments of subsidy to ship operators in order to maintain a U.S. merchant fleet in support of U.S. foreign commerce and capable as serving as a naval auxiliary in event of a national emergency. The program is designed to pay the difference between the fair and reasonable cost of certain expenses (wages and subsistence of crew; insurance; vessel maintenance and repair) and the estimated cost of the same items if the ships were operated under foreign registry. To be eligible for subsidy, an operator must provide regular berth services on an essential trade route, show that Government aid is necessary to place the operation on a parity with its foreign competition, and employ vessels constructed in the United States and manned by U.S. citizens. During calendar year 1963, 15 operators had operatingdifferential subsidy contracts with the Maritime Administration and provided service on 34 essential foreign trade routes. These operators carried 10.7 million deadweight tons of cargo, an increase of 6% over calendar year 1962. The total of vessel operating expenses was $715.4 million of which $293.3 million or 41% represented subsidizable items of expense. The operations for which subsidy support is projected are detailed in the following table. To: Northern Europe. 15 Caribbean....

All contracts for operating subsidy provide that 50% of the net profits earned from the contractors' subsidized operations and services which over a 10-year period exceed 10% of capital necessarily employed shall be withheld from payments made by the Government. This recapture is calculated annually based upon cumulative profits earned since the beginning of the recapture period. The estimate for the current and budget years, shown in the program and financing schedule, assumes that the first quarter of calendar year 1964 profit experience of each operator will be continued. Status of unfunded contract authorization.-The computation and approval of final subsidy rates and audit of annual accountings will make it possible to make most payments of 100% of subsidy payable on account of operations prior to December 31, 1961. The $93 million unpaid subsidy, as of June 30, 1966, represents a backlog consisting largely of amounts withheld pending final rate and audit determinations for operations subsequent to calendar year 1961, plus estimated amounts earned in the final quarter of 1966 when bills will not be presented or paid during the year. 1 Selected resources as of June 30 are as follows: Unpaid undelivered orders___.
