8. Scientific Investigation of the Whale Stocks

(from "Chairman's Report of the Twenty-Second Meeting")

This had been a continuing item on the agenda for the Commission's meetings and related to the investigations of the FAO Stock Assessment Group. FAO announced its withdrawal from the special investigations into the whale stocks at the last meeting and no report was now before the Commission. It was decided that this subject should be withdrawn as a continuing item on the Commission's agenda.
