a special thank you today to Senator Stevens, who's been involved in all of our energy fairs so far, and who has been one of the strongest supporters of renewable energy in the country.
the whole purpose of the Act is to protect our fisheries and have a conservation ethic to be the major goal.
With your help and with Senator Steven's help, you were able to get back some money, a small amount.
