Daniel Webster actually said...

"The Sustainable Shark Fisheries and Trade Act seeks to leverage access to the U.S. market to encourage foreign nations."

"Finning is not a problem within the U.S. The problem exists with other nations operating primarily on the high seas."

"The fact is that many, I daresay most, of the proponents of the domestic fin ban are actually committed to eliminating all shark fishing in the U.S."

"This bill will do nothing to effectively combat the practice of finning on the high seas and in other countries."
