Business Leaders Say Ratify Law of the Sea.
Until the U.S. Senate ratifies the Law of the Sea Treaty, our country has no seat at the table for a wide range of decisions that profoundly affect our economic interests, and American companies are declining to pursue major resource opportunities beyond our 200-mile limit because of the legal risks. Business leaders agree we need this measure now …
TO STRENGTHEN OUR ECONOMY
"U.S. businesses from shipping to telecommunications to offshore energy production cannot plan and invest as needed without the legal certainty that comes with Law of the Sea Treaty ratification. The stakes are huge for our whole economy.”
- Thomas J. Donohue, President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
TO ACCESS OFFSHORE RESOURCES
America’s oil and natural gas industry needs the certainty and predictability provided by the Law of the Sea Convention to continue providing the energy that keeps our nation and our economy moving forward.”
- Jack N. Gerard, President and CEO, American Petroleum Institute
TO CREATE AMERICAN JOBS
“Right now China controls more than 90 percent of our rare earth supply. Increased access to these minerals will make manufacturers in the U.S. more competitive and support jobs, which is why the Senate needs to ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty now.”
- Jay Timmons, President and CEO, National Association of Manufacturers
