 that will assure even greater shellfish production in this area. 



Mr. Lennon. I would like to ask you also, please, Congressman, if 

 you can furnish us for the record, following the introduction in the 

 record of what we have just agreed to, the 121 ocean-dumping sites 

 on the Atlantic coast, and the 56 on the gulf coast and the 68 on the 

 Pacific coast that you have referred to in the third paragraph of your 

 statement on page 3. Do you have those sites by identification?

 be happy to furnish them.

 record at this point.
