Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, which pro- 

 vided for an Assistant Secretary for Fish 

 and Wildlife, a voice at the Cabinet 

 policy level. Among other things, it also 

 provided for specific representation at 

 negotiating conferences and for authority 

 to participate in the solution of foreign 

 fishery trade problems. 



Within this framework, we in the 

 Department attempt to play a constructive 

 role in representing the interests of the 

 fishing community as a whole.
