So the workshop Report includes not only essential material for the Council's 

 report to Congress but also the components of a strategy that the participants felt would 

 begin immediately to produce improvements in regional fish and wildlife governance. I 

 commend to you the conclusions reached by this hard-working group of experts. 



Finally, your staff deserves credit for the smooth, well-administered meeting. 

 They dedicated long days and evenings to planning and organizing the meetings, writing 

 materials, and attending to every detail, then spent the weekend after the workshop 

 pulling the record together. Thanks to these highly professional people!
