On the recordNovember 16, 2001
I will tell the gentleman, as I said both privately and publicly, we are currently analyzing the situation. We have been provided by our friend from American Samoa an amendment something other than simply banning. That is a significant step in the right direction. We are willing to look at limitations on volume, quota or consumption, whichever is the most appropriate structure. I understand and appreciate the gentleman's concern because he is dealing with only a canning operation in which the processing comes from the very country that is the subject of the tuna expansion in Andean and Ecuador. And the pressures are significant. The facts are there. We will make adjustments so that the gentleman will have at least a minimal comfort level.
