Sec. 71.2  Requests for naval force in foreign port.

    Diplomatic representatives and consular officers shall not request 
the presence of a naval force in a foreign port unless a public 
emergency so necessitates. The request may be addressed to the officers 
in command of the naval force, in which event responsibility of action 
rests with them, or it may be addressed to the Department of State. In 
either case, the request should contain detailed reasons for its 
submission.
