                   ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT  DIVISION

                            BEFORE THE

                      HOUSE COMMITTEE ON  THE

                   MERCHANT MARINE AND  FISHERIES

                                ON

                U.S. FLAG SHARE OF THE  U.S./CANADA

                     TRADE ON THE GREAT LAKES





Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:

       We appreciate the opportunity  to be here today to discuss

our report on U.S.-Flag Share of  the U.S./Canada Trade on the

Great Lakes (GAO/RCED-86-115, dated May  8, 1986).  These are our

main points.

     --Canadian-flag ships have historically  carried most of the

       waterborne trade that moves between  the United States and

       Canada on the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence  Seaway system.  In

       the last three decades, the Canadians  have increased their

       share of the trade on the Great Lakes while  capturing most

       of the new trade that resulted  from the St. Lawrence Seaway





                                                               130474
