Jim Saxton: “Unfortunately, the Committee on Science has refused to negotiate on sea grant. Mr. Chairman, as I said, unfortunately…”

On the recordOctober 12, 1995
Unfortunately, the Committee on Science has refused to negotiate on sea grant. Mr. Chairman, as I said, unfortunately the Committee on Science has not negotiated on sea grant. This bill includes the Committee on Science's version of sea grant, not the version reported by the committee with primary jurisdiction. Therefore, I am offering an amendment to strike the sea-grant provisions from the bill. This will allow H.R. 1175, the bill Chairman Young introduced earlier this year, which has been acted on by both committees of jurisdiction and is now in a position to come to the floor. The national sea-grant college program is a network of over 300 colleges, universities, secondary, and elementary schools and research institutions throughout the country focused on the wise use of marine resources.
