Howusr or REPRESENTATIVES, 
SUBCOMMITTEE ON OCEANOGRAPHY OF THE 
CoMMITTEE ON MercHant MarrNeE AND FISHERIES, 
Washington, D.C. 
The subcommittee met at 10:10 a.m., pursuant to call, in room 1802, 
Longworth House Office Building, Hon. Alton Lennon (chairman of 
the subcommittee) presiding. 
Mr. Rocers (presiding). The subcommittee will come to order, 
please. 
First of all, I would like to say that the chairman, Al Lennon, asked 
me particularly to express his regrets for not being here at the begin- 
ning of the meeting because of a Medal of Honor ceremony at the 
White House. He plans to be here as soon as that ceremony 1s over 
because he particularly wanted to hear the views of this witness. 
The committee is delighted to welcome back the distinguished Lieu- 
tenant Governor of California, a former member of this committee, 
and one of our colleagues who took an active interest in this commit- 
tee and its activities and who has made a real contribution in this field. 
We are particularly honored to welcome you, and I know that all 
of the members of the committee share my feelings, not only as Lieu- 
tenant Governor of California but as our good friend and former 
colleague. We are honored to have you, Lieutenant Governor Ed 
Reinecke. 
STATEMENT OF HON. ED REINECKE, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF 
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND CHAIRMAN OF THE CALI- 
FORNIA ADVISORY COMMISSION ON MARINE AND COASTAL 
RESOURCES 
Mr. Rernecke. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 
Needless to say, it is a new experience for me to sit on this side of 
the table. It is kind of spooky as a matter of fact, but I am very, very 
pleased to be back and to have this opportunity to see you gentlemen 
and hopefully to contribute a little bit to something that I know we 
all share with a great deal of interest and enthusiasm. 
I guess I should start by apologizing. I don’t know that everybody 
has a copy of my statement. 
Mr. Rocrrs. Yes, I think we do. 
Mr. Rernecxe. I am glad you do because I understand that some of 
the people in the room did not get their copies. They were mailed a 
while ago, but it seems that the Wells Fargo Express is still carrying 
the mail out of Sacramento.
