George Bush actually said...

"The Convention aims to control the harmful effects of anti-fouling systems, which are used on the hulls of ships to prevent the growth of marine organisms."

"I transmit herewith, for the advice and consent of the Senate to its ratification, the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships, 2001 (the 'Convention')."

"I approve the proposed Agreement and have determined the performance of the Agreement will promote, and will not constitute an unreasonable risk to, the common defense and security."

"It will also promote closer political and economic ties with a NATO ally."
