Wouldn't it make more sense to give your council some reasonable latitude to deal with rebuilding stocks for which the 10-year time-frame simply doesn't make sense?

I believe the Caribbean Council, who is represented here today, has never had a stock assessment ever.

As you know, it has become a common practice for the administration to divert in their annual budget Saltonstall-Kennedy funds received by NOAA away from the authorized uses and into the agency's operational and research fund.

The main thing that impacts the South Atlantic in being able to deal with red snapper is the ending overfishing immediately.

It's important to remember, every race is particular to the state that it's run in. So there are factors in New Jersey that I think are individual to that race and clearly he was able to speak to that and to the -- to the hopes and…

It is important for Congress to set national broadband deployment and adoption goals.
