       DELIVERING FOR RHODE ISLAND'S COMMERCIAL FISHING INDUSTRY

  (Mr. MAGAZINER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MAGAZINER. Madam Speaker, last month, I had the opportunity to 
visit the Port of Galilee in Narragansett, Rhode Island, one of the 
most productive commercial fishing ports in the entire Northeast. 
Galilee is home to more than 270 commercial fishing boats, supporting 
3,500 jobs and landing more than 16 million pounds of seafood per year.
  As a member of the Natural Resources Committee, I am committed to 
fighting for resources for America's ports and to supporting the 
commercial fishing industry, which is vital to how we feed our Nation 
and support our economy.
  I am also introducing a bill to secure a voice for the Rhode Island 
fishing industry in the Mid-Atlantic Fishery

Management Council. I am proud to support and fight in Congress for 
Rhode Island's fishermen, and I encourage everyone to try the best 
seafood in America, which is Rhode Island seafood.
