On Wednesday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton,
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
General Martin Dempsey testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
on the national security and strategic rationale for ratifying the Law of the
Sea Convention. (See their full remarks here.)
The hearing was the first of three planned ones, according to reports. The other hearings – not yet scheduled – will include high-ranking military officials building on the national security message and representatives from the business community making the economic case for ratifying the convention.
