virtually all dealers engaged in this trade and maintain 

 a continuing study of all areas affecting the seafood 

 industry of the Pacific Northwest. Over the years we 

 have studied and participated in pollution control 

 activities and have supported efforts to reduce pollution 

 of our state waters. We have studied the report entitled 

 "Pollutional Effects of Pulp and Paper Mill Wastes in 

 Puget Sound" dated March 1967, and we believe the finding 

 of the report to be sound and consistent with efforts to 

 reduce pollution and establish better aquatic resources. 

 We feel the findings of this body are of the greatest 

 importance in that they once and for all set forth 

 specific information relative to current pollution and 

 recommend solutions. We urge the Pollution Control Com- 

 mission of Washington State to adopt the findings of this 

 report and to put the recommendations into effect imme- 

 diately. 



Sincerely yours, 



NORTHWEST FISHERIES ASSOCIATION
