You're absolutely wrong. The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman from California has expired. (On request of Mr. Hastings of Washington, and by unanimous consent, Mr. Farr was allowed to proceed for 2 additional minutes.)

I find this argument very interesting that people like to cast both blame and aspersions that we are sort of different from all our States, that the Federal Government is one thing and the States are different. I have an amendment in a…

I rise as a Representative from a great fishing community, Monterey, California. Many of you may have heard about Monterey because it was the sardine port of the world, the largest sardine port in the world; and it certainly was written…
