CHAPTER 2--SUBMARINE CABLES
Sec. 35. Withholding or revoking of licenses by President; terms
and conditions of licenses
The President may withhold or revoke such license when he shall be
satisfied after due notice and hearing that such action will assist in
securing rights for the landing or operation of cables in foreign
countries, or in maintaining the rights or interests of the United
States or of its citizens in foreign countries, or will promote the
security of the United States, or may grant such license upon such terms
as shall be necessary to assure just and reasonable rates and service in
the operation and use of cables so licensed. The license shall not
contain terms or conditions granting to the licensee exclusive rights of
landing or of operation in the United States. Nothing herein contained
shall be construed to limit the power and jurisdiction of the Federal
Communications Commission with respect to the transmission of messages.
