   ADDITIONAL COSPONSORS TO S. 2243, A BILL TO AMEND THE FISHERMEN'S 
                             PROTECTIVE ACT

 Mr. STEVENS. Mr. President, I ask for unanimous consent that 
my colleague from Oregon, Senator Hatfield, and my colleague from 
Idaho, Senator Craig, be added as cosponsors to my bill, S. 2243, to 
amend the Fishermen's Protective Act.
  This amendment would allow United States fishermen who are being 
forced to pay an illegal transit fee in Canada to be reimbursed for 
paying in advance to avoid vessel seizures.
  I am very pleased that Senator Hatfield and Senator Craig are joining 
Senators Gorton, Murray, Murkowski, Packwood, and me in this effort. We 
hope that the Senate will support the expeditious passage of this 
important bill.
