Mr. Felando. Mr. Chairman, to my far left we have Harold Gary. 



Mr. Gary has a prepared statement. 



Mr. Cary was the general manager of the American Tunaboat 

 Association from 1947 



Mr. Leggett. C-a-r-y ? 



Mr. Cary. Yes. 



Mr. Felando. He was general manager from 1947 through mid- 

 1959. 



At the present time he is with Ocean Fisheries, which manages, I 

 believe, 11 or 12 vessels. 



Next to me is Mr. Frank Alverson who is with LMR. 



He is available to talk about populations. 



Mr. Leggett. Mr. Alverson, is he with the Tuna-Porpoise Foun- 

 dation? 



Mr. Felando. No. 



He is a consultant. LMR is the consulting group with the Porpoise 

 Rescue Foundation. 



To my right is Manuel Silva, president of the American Tunaboat 

 Association. 



He has been a skipper for 25 or 26 years and presently owns and 

 operates two vessels, the Proud Heritage and the Sea Quest. 



Excuse me, they switched seats on me. 



The man to my right is Captain Manuel Jorge, who is the captain 

 of the Elizabeth C. J., and managing owner of that vessel. 



He and his brother were both on the Elizabeth C. J. on the last 

 cruise that was mentioned in the Smithsonian magazine. 



Mr. Leggett. Captain Jorge is the captain of the Elizabeth C. /., 

 and 



Mr. Felando. That is right. 



He also manages another vessel, the Marie C. J. 



Next to him is Manuel Silva, and then to my far right is Joe 

 Thompson. 



He was the photographer who was selected by the Government to 

 do all the underwater photography during the cruise, the research 

 cruise of the Elizabeth C.J.. and he was the one who wrote the script, 

 subject to changes and corrections by the Government and ourselves, 

 and made the movie that you just saw.
