“For those folks who had the word ``diktat'' on their bingo card, you are a big winner today. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for that, but when he describes this bill as extreme, overreaching, and draconian, he left out the fact that 28 of the 31 fishermen in this particular fishery have already agreed to participate in the transition program that this bill provides. My hope is that the three holdouts will take advantage of the transition assistance being offered and join the rest of their peers. Also, when my colleague mentions far-left Democrats driving this bill, he forgets to mention the long list of Republicans in both the House and Senate who are supporting this bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Hawaii (Mr. Case).”
