"We are especially appreciative of Congressman Bergman for his response to our stakeholder concerns regarding cormorant impacts on Great Lakes fisheries."

"We greatly appreciate Congressman Bergman and the House Natural Resource Committee's leadership on this issue."

"I want to thank the Committee for holding the hearing today to consider my bill, H.R. 4429, the Cormorant Control Act."

"H.R. 4429 recognizes how important it is for states to have proper management plans for controlling this bird population."
