“I want to say again how much I appreciate the good work that has been done on this legislation. This is very important conservation legislation that will help protect our fisheries and at the same time make them available for commercial fishermen and recreational fishermen. A lot of good work has been done by the Senator from Alaska, Senator Stevens, and the Senators from Washington, and the Senator from Massachusetts, Senator Kerry. Senator Hutchison is very much involved. I think they have done really good work. I am pleased we are going to be able to complete this legislation this morning.”
