i mean, we can weigh in, but just to cite your malta issue, that's not something where the u.s. government would have a veto process. that's one where we would have a voice among many other nations in trying to cause that to be successfully agreed to, is that correct? >> i would have to get our legal experts to weigh in on that. i'm frankly not competent to answer that. if you'd like i'll get that for the record though. >> i appreciate you all being here. i don't know whether you're being here as good soldiers or whether this is something you're passionate about, but you certainly are people that i respect, and i'm very neutral on this. i'm here to learn. i've been to every one of these hearings, and certainly there are people in the audience, senator warner and others that i respect greatly in addition to all of you. i do want to say to you, mr. donahue, who i know well and certainly have worked closely with, your comment regarding the veto on the climate issue is categorically incorrect, and i would like for the record for your legal person to give us an opinion to that correc

, but never enters malta's territorial seas. even though the convention allows for such transit without interference by coastal nations, malta's resource authority has threatened legal action if the cable operators do not obtain a license and pay a significant fee. not only do these fees add unforeseeable costs, they raise the specter of coastal nations imposing similar requirements for the sole purpose of raising revenue at the expense of the cable operators and owners. by signing on to the convention, the u.s. will have an enhanced ability to effectively support american parties to such disputes and enforce the treaties expressly-stated freedom to lay and maintain submarine cables without else to, taxation or fees levied by coastal states. once the u.s. is party to the convention, verizon and other use telecommunications companies can work with the appropriate u.s. agencies, and the life of a cable system. this convention will improve the reliability of our infrastructure and put u.s. companies on a level playing field. it wil
