On the recordJune 30, 2010
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H. Con. Res. 289 simply corrects a drafting error in the Senate amendments to H.R. 3360. Specifically, the Senate amendments intended to combine required Coast Guard reports on fisheries enforcement plans and on efforts to prevent the incursion of foreign fishing vessels into U.S. waters. However, the Senate amendments incorrectly referred to section 804 of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004 rather than the act of 2006, which is the correct cite for the requirement that the Coast Guard submit biannual reports on the service's progress in detecting and interdicting incursions by foreign fishing vessels into the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. H. Con. Res. 289 merely corrects the legal cite, but does not make any other changes to the Senate amendments to H.R. 3360. I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. LoBIONDO. Mr. Speaker, this is purely technical. We have no objection. I yield back the balance of my time.
