I want to thank the Committee for taking the time and effort to 

 hold these field hearings in order to find out first hand the sad 

 state of our once abundant Pacific Coast salmon fishery. The region's 

 salmon stocks are now at the door of extinction. The Endangered 

 Species Committee of the prestigious American Fisheries Society has 

 identified 214 separate salmonid stocks at moderate or high risk of 

 extinction. (Nehlsen, w. , Williams, J.E., Lichatowich, J. A. "Pacific 

 salmon at the crossroads: stocks at risk from California, Oregon, 

 Idaho and Washington." Fisheries 16(2):4-21).
