Memorandum for Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of the Treasury on approved treatment of Soviet Bloc fishing vessels entering United States territorial waters.

FILE COPY [STAMP] SANITIZED COPY THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON [REDACTED] CONFIDENTIAL October 14, 1963 NATIONAL SECURITY ACTION MEMORANDUM NO. 265 TO: The Secretary of State The Secretary of Defense The Secretary of Treasury SUBJECT: Treatment of the Soviet Bloc Fishing Vessels The following instructions, regarding U.S. Coast Guard treatment of Soviet Bloc fishing vessels entering United States territorial waters, have been approved: 1. A vessel in innocent passage, as defined by Convention on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone, Geneva, 1958, will not be disturbed, but will be kept under surveillance while it remains in U.S. territorial waters. 2. A vessel that enters U.S. territorial waters will not be considered innocent passage and may be stopped, boarded, and searched if: (a) The Coast Guard has intelligence information which gives reasonable grounds for believing that the vessel is engaged in violation of U.S. laws, or that it constitutes a threat to U.S. security. (b) The vessel is configured in such a manner as to raise a reasonable suspicion that it is engaged in violating U.S. laws, or that it threatens U.S. security. Thus, if what purports to be a normal fishing vessel in innocent passage were obviously configured for the collection of electronic intelligence, its passage would not be considered innocent until it had been boarded and searched, and its innocent character established. (c) The vessel behaves in such a manner that it may be reasonably suspected of violating U.S. laws or endangering U.S. security. Such behavior, when considered in the context of existing circumstances, might include (1) stopping, anchoring, or hovering not incident to navigation; (2) making contact with a vessel from the beach; (3) having its own boats [REDACTED] CONFIDENTIAL [STAMP] SANITIZED E.O. 12356, Sec. 3,4 NLK - 92 - 87 By SKF NARA, Date 3/26/1992

A vessel that enters U.S. territorial waters by reason of "force majeure", distress, or for shelter from a very dangerous storm shall be permitted to remain while its reason for entering continues to exist. However, it shall be boarded and searched for entering continues to exist. However, it shall be boarded and searched to make sure that its reason for entry is valid, that it is not violating U.S. laws, and that it does not threaten U.S. security. While it remains U.S. waters it shall be kept under surveillance. 5. If, upon boarding and search of a vessel discovered within U.S. territorial waters, evidence is found that the vessel is or has been violating U.S. laws or constitutes a threat to U.S. security, it shall be detained for further investigation. If no reason for detaining the vessel is found, it shall be escorted to the high seas, permitted to continue its innocent passage, or permitted to remain if it has a continuing valid reason such as "force majeure". 6. The Departments of State, Treasury, and Navy will be kept informed by rapid means of any action taken by the Coast Guard under these instructions. 7. The Commandant of the Coast Guard is authorized to delegate authority to the various Coast Guard District Commanders to take immediate action under these instructions.
