Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 16, 1999
Mr. Chairman, I am quite pleased to bring this bill to the floor today to authorize expenditures of the Federal Maritime Commission. The Federal Maritime Commission has important work ahead to implement the important provisions of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1998. That act contains the first major amendments to deregulate international ocean shipping since 1984. H.R. 819 also contains funds for the Federal Maritime Commission to enforce the provisions of the Foreign Shipping Practices Act and to carry out the other responsibilities of the Commission. So I would urge my colleagues to support this important bill.
