The maa supports these two areas of cooperative thought but 

 recognizes that the agreement's requirement that Individual animals 

 be identified before the beginning of a 135 day review period does 

 not constitute a workable permitting proceae for the salmon netpen 

 industry. 



I hope that our goals have been made clear to you by this 

 petition. We would bt pleased to work with you and your staff to 

 develop any additional information that may be pertinent to the 

 process that we are suggesting. 



Thank you for your attention to and your consideration of our 

 request. 



With best regards, 



Sincerely,
