Rob Bishop: “I am asking you to protect a program that is unrivaled in the Nation.”

the Magnuson-Stevens Act is not just for the conservation and management of fishery resources, but also to assure that our citizens benefit from employment, food supply, and revenue which could be generated from these resources.

There really is no reason to add to this hearing--unless it is to give Members another 5 minutes to campaign, or speak on the bills. It is kind of a waste of time.

The Dingell Act, 2 years ago, was bipartisan. If this were bipartisan, we would not be here. But to illustrate that, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar).

Instead of helping, it seems the Majority is more interested in putting fishermen's livelihood at risk in the name of faux conservation.
