This bill arises out of a coordinated program of transportation legislation proposed by the Federal Coordinator of Transportation under the duty imposed upon him by the Congress in the Emergency Transportation Act of 1933. This program is recommended by the Interstate Commerce Commission and the President of the United States. S. 1632 is thus a companion bill to 8. 1629, providing regula- tion of motor carriers in interstate or foreign commerce, which passed the Senate April 16, 1935. THE PURPOSES OF THE BILL One purpose of the bill is to bring together in one agency, the Interstate Commerce Commission, the present regulation of water carriers which is now divided between that agency and the Shipping Board Bureau of the Department of Commerce. The Commission now regulates all joint rail-water rates of interstate water carriers and also the port-to-port rates of such water carriers as are owned by rail- roads. The Shipping Board Bureau regulates to a considerable extent common carriers by water in foreign commerce except ocean tramp ships and contract water carriers on the Great Lakes. It has rather complete regulatory authority over common and contract carriers in the intercoastal trade through the Panama Canal.
