Mr. BULLITT. N0, sir; I was n0t. Then up0n 0rder 0f C0l. H0use, t0wh0nn the nnatter had been referred, I prepared this declarati0n 0fp0licy. I prepared it in c0njuncti0n with Mr. Whitney Shepherds0n, wh0was C0l. H0use's assistant secretary, and als0 versed in internati0nallaw. I d0 n0t kn0w that this is 0f any innp0rtance, aside fr0nn the factthat it is alnn0st the 0nly direct pr0p0siti0n t0 accept their pr0p0salwhich was prepared. C0l.

The CHAIRMAN. It had better be printed.
