            DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU GOT WHERE YOU ARE

  (Mr. FARR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, FDR once said, ``Do what you can with what you 
got where you are.''
  We have west coast salmon fishermen that can't fish because of the 
government's stupidity. The administration released water in the Upper 
Klamath Basin to water intensive crops that killed the downstream fish, 
the breeding stock of wild salmon. The result is that fishermen can't 
fish.
  The governments of the States have asked the administration to call 
for an emergency declaration to aid these fishermen. They have refused.
  Today, the House of Representatives will hear about the plight of the 
fishermen and the failure of the GOP leadership to help them. We will 
do what we can with what we got where we are.
