so it must be time to debate the Law of the Sea Treaty

Twenty-five years, when we had a real President, the Law of the Seas Treaty was rejected, and correctly so. Nothing is different between then and now and once again, it should be rejected.

Regan rejected the FIRST treaty, and right so. This is a different version:

for example this was added:

Article 77
Rights of the coastal State over the continental shelf

1. The coastal State exercises over the continental shelf sovereign
rights for the purpose of exploring it and exploiting its natural resources.

2. The rights referred to in paragraph 1 are exclusive in the sense that
if the coastal State does not explore the continental shelf or exploit its natural
resources, no one may undertake these activities without the express consent
of the coastal State.
