            sloop "Active." Pennsylvania Admiralty Court decision against their clients has been
            reversed by Court of Appeals. Pennsylvania body refuses to heed this decision. Congress
            has postponed consideration of case. As Pennsylvania Legislature now in session, ask
            that Congress resume deliberations on case so that it may be brought to a speedy
            conclusion.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
