Sec. 1323. Conservation of fishery resources

    Upon the convocation of a conference on the use or conservation of 
international fishery resources, the President shall, by all appropriate 
means at his disposal, seek to persuade countries whose domestic fishing 
practices or policies affect such resources, to engage in negotiations 
in good faith relating to the use or conservation of such resources. If, 
after such efforts by the President and by other countries which have 
agreed to engage in such negotiations, any other country whose 
conservation practices or policies affect the interests of the United 
States and such other countries, has in the judgment of the President, 
failed or refused to engage in such negotiations in good faith, the 
President may, if he is satisfied that such action is likely to be 
effective in inducing such country to engage in such negotiations in 
good faith, increase the rate of duty on any fish (in any form) which is 
the product of such country, for such time as he deems necessary, to a 
rate not more than 50 percent above the rate existing on July 1, 1934.
