A concurrent resolution to express strong support for the cabotage laws protecting the coastwise trade to vessels of American construction, crewing, and documentation, as well as other maritime promotional programs, and to urge the Administration in the strongest possible terms that the opening of maritime transportation services not be proposed by the United States at the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) talks, and that the United States reject any such proposal by a foreign nation.

Plain-English summary
Declares that the Congress urges the Administration to refrain from submitting any proposal in the GATT negotiations that would consider maritime transportation activity as being within the scope of "trade in services" and to reject any proposals made by foreign nations which are similar or which would lead to a contraction of the merchant marine.
