LET'S NOT WASTE PRECIOUS TIME AND MONEY BUILDING BUREAUCRATIC 

 EMPIRES THAT WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP FISHERIES MANAGEMENT. I APPEAL 

 TO YOU TO FORCE THESE AGENCIES TO ABIDE BY THE LAWS THAT YOU'VE 

 ALREADY PASSED SO THAT THE ACTUAL USERS CAN PARTICIPATE: 



THROUGH COUNCIL REPRESENTATION AND THROUGH AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE 

 ON THE ASMFC. 



AFTER THEY FULFILL CONGRESSIONAL MANDATES THESE EXTRA MEASURES 

 SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. BUT I DOUBT VERY MUCH THAT STRONGER 

 MEASURES WILL BE NEEDED IF ALL GROUPS ARE BROUGHT INTO THE PROCESS 

 AS WAS INTENDED BY CONGRESS IN THE FIRST PLACE. 



THANK YOU.
