In a letter to the President, Mr. Lennon took note of the recent devclopmerts with regard to national policy regarding offshore submerged lands, and found it deficient. According to the Congressman, recent reports suggest that the United States may be willing to abandon all rights to the mineral resources of the submerged lands of the United States beyond the 200 meter isobath. This would mean that foreign nations would, in some cases, be free to establish drilling platforms in as close as three miles from the shore. Mr. Lennon voiced his concern that such platforms would not be subject to United ' States' control and, thus, would constitute a pollution threat. Mr. Lennon advised the President that a narrow continental shelf jurisdiction could mean the loss of about 25 percent of the Nation's oil and gas reserves, with corresponding burdens to the taxpayer. In addition, the presence of international control close to the shoreline could spell trouble for American fishing interests. In a strongly worded warning, Mr. lennon said: "I believe that Americans deserve the products of their labors expended in developing sub-sea areas adjacent to our coasts . . . that citizens of this country are entitled to be protected from the establishment of uncontrolled oil wells as close as three miles off our shores . . . that our fishermen, who have plied the waters near our coast for more than a hundred years, are entitled to be free from foreign intervention." The issue, said Lennon, "is one of long-range national interest and illustrates the need for a harder look at the .best interests of the coastal states, with respect to both international and domestic policy." Mr. Lennon adivsed the President not to be' distracted by short-term gains in making his decision regarding United States claims to natural resources already protected by the 1958 Geneva Convention on the Continental Shelf. The Congressman also urged the President to evaluate carefully the needs of the U S. Navy in deciding such important issues as the width of continental shelf claims and the need for expanded territorial seas under international law. Lennon suggested more communication with the Congress on matters of this nature, since the rights of the people are directly affected. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oceanography of the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, Lennon has taken the initiative to develop new concepts of coastal zone management that will be of long-range benefit to all coastal residents. In recognition of this, and other related work, he was recently named Oceanography's "Man of the Year" by the National Oceanographic Association. CP&L Wants Rate Hike Carolina Power & Light Company is planning to request a general rate increase of approximately 10.5 percent on service for retail customers. Confirming earlier reports, CP&L President Shearon Harris says the request will be made before may I to the North Carolina Utilities Commission and the South Carolina Public Service Commission. CP&L has never had a general rate increase. "But the spiraling cost of nearly everything we must buy to provide electric services, including investment capital, makes a price increase essential," Harris declared. "If we could get coal and borrow money during 1070 at our 1068 cost levels, the company would reduce its expenses almost SI4 million Jhis year." he explained. "Almost everything else that we must buy to provide electric service has gone up. too." He indicated the planned increase would add less than a nickel per day to the bill of the company's aveiage residential customer. Comparable increases would apply to all retail customers. Harris said the company expects to make a later liling with the Federal Power Commission for approval of an adjustment in the rate charged wholesale customers. Based on CP&L's I960 operations, the proposed increase would yield about S 16 million of additional revenue annually. Harris noted that CP&I is proud of us record of supplying good electric service at reasonable prices. Since 1934 the average price by ( P&L s residential customers has dropped from 5.8 cents pet kilowatt ? hour to 1.64 cents. The proposed increases would leave CP&L's average puce per kilowatt ? hour for residential customers lai below the national average Our eustoineis aie using about one ? third more electricity in then homes and paying one - fifth less pci kilowatt - hotii for it than the average family nationally." he added. Harris said the dcliveied price of coal is up almost 40 percent since 1965. the cost of installing new generating capacity has risen sharply and is going higher, and CP&l's expense for borrowed money is rt record high levels.
