I introduce this bill in order to really right these wrongs, and that is one of the benefits of the bill, and restore trust in our government with the proper oversight.

Mr. Pallone's Coastal Jobs Creation Act directs Federal investment into coastal communities. These bills deserve the support of this Committee and swift action on the House Floor.

At a time of 9% unemployment we need to consider every jobs bill we can.

NOAA is likely to impose strict limits on fish about which they have little or no information.

I am proud to author this legislation which seeks to ensure that the management of saltwater fisheries is based on sound science.

The lack of adequate data has caused problems with several major fisheries around the country.

there certainly needs to be some certainty in the Tax Code for the small businesses that create the jobs in our country

Can you imagine for a second any other small business in your communities that are working under this environment where they don't know what next year means?

Thank you, Chairman Hastings and Representative Markey, Ranking Member.

I completely support Representative Runyan's efforts to protect jobs.

Congressman Keating's responsiveness to the OIG report is to be commended.
