     SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON COORDINATING MILITARY TRAINING 
                   EXERCISES WITH FISHERIES.

       It is the Sense of Congress that the Office of the 
     Secretary of Defense, or through its designee, should notify 
     and consider comments from the National Marine Fisheries 
     Service, affected state and tribal fisheries management 
     agencies, and appropriate fishing user groups as early as is 
     reasonably practicable when scheduling and selecting a 
     location for training exercises to minimize the impact on 
     subsistence, sport and commercial fisheries and to ensure the 
     long term health and availability of fish species and stocks
