Teresa Leger Fernandez said "I am ready to close. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan legislation so that we can continue to protect our fishing fleet, protect the waters, and, importantly, protect the tuna that provides such economic vitality to those fishermen in those countries which rely on their ability to both capture the tuna. All of those restaurants and households really want to make sure that we continue to ensure that tuna is caught in an environmentally and sound way. Mr. Speaker, I urge support of the legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
