WhereaS: it is well known that there are numerous and valua blo halibut bankss in Boring Sea but that at the present time the loca- ti0n of these banks are not defin- itly known. That the halibut banks of the other Alaska waters are becoming depleted of their former supply of halibut which is one of the most valuable food pro- ducts of these Northern waters. That other valuable food fishes exist in Boring Sea waters. That tt the present time the location of 'he halibut banks in these waters gre not definitely known and for
