the Coast Guard has previously
been listed under the Treasury
DEPARTMENT, it is now a member
of the Armed Forces and he did
not think that the Armed Forces
should have jurisdiction over pri-
vate industry. He said that he
thought that rules governing an
industry should be made by repre-
sentatives of that industry.
Mr.. Lackhove explained that in
May, Federal Law No. SIG, was
passed, giving the Coast Guard full
authority to regulate the small
passenger carrying vessels in
coastal areas and the Great Lakes,
and that a second set of regula-
