On the recordOctober 21, 2015
we have worked long and hard in the bipartisan Oceans Caucus to clear this Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing Enforcement Act of 2015. It will help fishermen on all of our coasts better withstand foreign competition that cheats, that destroys resources, and that engages in what we call pirate fishing. This is a House bill. It passed with a huge majority on the House side, and now having passed in the Senate, it can go to the President for its signature. It will be good for fishermen across the country. I thank Senator Vitter for his consideration and for working together to clear both of these bills this afternoon. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Louisiana.
