Dr. Chapman. I will identify myself first. I am W. M. Chapman,, 

 director of the Division of Eesources, Van Camp Sea Food Co., 840 

 Van Camp Street, Long Beach, Calif. 



My own headquarters are in San Diego, at 739 Golden Park Avenue, 

 so I am well acquainted with the preceding witnesses and I have 

 worked with them. 



Our business is the harvesting, processing, distribution, and mar- 

 keting of the living resources of the sea on a worldwide basis. Our- 

 interest in the ocean is just as deep and wide as the ocean itself. 



This morning I will, however, speak much more broadly than our 

 own special interests. 



I would like to start out by considering the nature of the problem 

 with which we are dealing here and refer to some of our history with 

 which you are familiar.
