Three Bay area Congressmen, John J. Allen, Jr.,
William S. Mailliard and John F. Shelley, recently
submitted identical House Resolutions. Indicative
of the importance of the subject matter is the fact
that six of their colleagues on -the Committee offered
the same Resolutions.
Many of us here have been concerned with the
plight of our local Shipyard Industry. It is obvious
that the lack of active shipyards in the Bay area
could be irreparably harmful in the event of any
necessary full scale mobilization. A complete study
of the several problems could be of much value in
restoring our local yards to their rightful position
in any mobilization planning.
The Congressmen in
ly championed the local
members of the Com.Taittee
study, may be counted up
the need to the United S
in the Bay area.
the Bay area have consistent -
Shipyard Industry and, as
of Congress conducting this
on to adequately point out
tates of a Shipyard Industry
Enclosed please find a copy of the Resolution
in question. It would be much appreciated if, by an
official action of your body, you would support the
need for this study and notify Congressmen Allen,
Mailliard or Shelley and send copy of your communica-
tion to us.

H. RES. 502
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
April 60 1954
Mr. SHELLEY_ submitted the following resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS the private ship construction and ship repair
yards in the United States are declining in activity
so rapidly that the degree of activity that will
remain is doubtful; and
WHEREAS a sufficient number of well dispersed yards
is necessary to construct and service the ships of
the merchant marine and to form a necessary part
of the mobilization base required in emergencies; and
WHEREAS the organizations and skills of the industry
are being; lost and dissipated to a degree that a
nucleus sufficient to constitute such a mobiliza-
tion base will not remain: Now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of the House of
Representatives that the problem of maintaining private
ship construction and repair yards in sufficient size
and numbers should receive immediate study and that
action should be proposed that will prevent the ship-
yards from falling below a level of activity sufficient
to service the ships of the merchant marine and to
provide an acceptable mobilization base in times of
emergency*
