their fish catches confiscated by Ecuador should be repaid to
the fund established by section 7 of the Fishermen's Protectivn
Act of 1967 from the Fishermen's Protective Fund. Because of th
retroactive effect of the ameidment affecting the Fishermen's
Protective Fund, and because no payment can be wade under

of law, the insurance fund should be reimbursed by the
Fishermen's Protective Fund. (Author/SC)
