Thank you for the opportunity to testify. I hope that you will 

 keep Harvey's thoughts in mind while you consider reauthorization 

 of the Magnuson Act. Thank you very much. 



The Chairman. Tell me what you know now, Mr. Anderson, 

 again about the companies to whom we gave a certain control of 

 fisheries by the allocation under the previous administration of a 

 part of the catch? Restate that for me. I want to get it through my 

 thick head. 



Mr. Anderson. OK. Mr. Chairman, first of all, I really will not 

 be able to articulate a response to your question because this is 

 Harvey's statement, and he stated that he was going to be very 

 strong about this particular area, had he been here to be able to 

 explain why he said what he did. And I am not privy to that infor- 

 mation at this time, but he stated that he would like to explain 

 that to you himself. 



The Chairman. Well, I will find him and let him elaborate on it. 

 We will keep the record open, by the way, for further questioning 

 by Senator Stevens and any others on the committee that want to 

 direct their questions back to the particular witnesses. Otherwise, 

 you folks are like the Andrews Sisters on the CDQ's. You are all 

 in perfect harmony, singing one tune, and the only little note I 

 found of discord was when you talked about the allocation to these 

 factories of a certain amount of control. I want you to elaborate and 

 explain it. 



Can any of the witnesses tell me what I am trying to find out? 

 Ms. Olsen. 



Ms. Olsen. Are you trying to talk 



The Chairman. Mr. McGill, you will get to that in your state- 

 ment? 



Mr. McGlLL. Well, the reason they did it, they gave them alloca- 

 tions, or promised to them, so they would build on shore. 



The Chairman. So, it was an economic development 



Mr. McGill. Yes. 



The Chairman [continuing]. That sort of moved it, and, in es- 

 sence, provided a certain control of the fisheries? 



Mr. McGill. Yeah, to have them build shore plants is what has 

 happened. I never followed it real close, but that is what is — basi- 

 cally what was behind it. 



The Chairman. I see, that was the reason. Good. 



Mr. Golia, thank you for being with us. Can we hear from you, 

 sir.
