The New World Order promoters in the WH are the ones pushing for this. I think president Bush is being guided along without ever realizing the loss of sovereignty that the US would bear. (How do we get him to change his administration?) I can see where at sometime the UN would decide that a few countries have too many ship or fishing boats and make a decision that they, only the UN shall authorize and license all personal water craft, ships, fishing boats, aircraft that use floats, etc.
