On the recordJuly 31, 1996
in response to the assertion of the gentleman from Massachusetts, let me respond to the study that was done on stress by Dr. Elizabeth Edwards of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This is what she said about the study concerning stress in dolphins: ``While all five reviewers felt that post-mortem examination of one or more physiological or histological samples taken from dolphins killed during purse-seining might well provide some indication of types and amounts of stress the animals may have experienced prior to death, none of the reviewers,'' talking about the study that was done, ``none of the reviewers felt that the body of work described in this paper presented any convincing evidence. In particular, the reviewers'' of the study ``were unanimous in their opinion that the study failed to confirm the stated conclusion * * *''
