Mr. LEGGETT. Thank you, Mr. Gage. If you will just stay there for a few questions.

Now, this is the statement that you are presenting on behalf of the Association of Pacific Fisheries. What is the constituency of that association ?

Mr. GAGE. The Association of Pacific Fisheries constitutes those companies that pack over 90 percent of the canned salmon in North America: that is. the United States.

Mr. LEGGETT. That operates in what States?

Mr. GAGE. Seattle, Wash., is the home office, but we operate in Alaska, Washington and Oregon.

Mr. LEGGETT. Would you say, then, that this is the composite thinking of the fisheries people in Alaska, Oregon, and Washington that fish salmon?

Mr. GAGE. Yes, sir; I would for salmon canners.

Mr. LEGGETT. Do they fish salmon out of California ?

Mr. GAGE. Yes, they do.

Mr. LEGGETT. But your association does not extend

Mr. GAGE. Our association is an association of canners. There are no salmon canners in California that I know of.

Mr. LEGGETT. Have you reviewed this statement, for instance, with the tuna people?

Mr. GAGE. Yes, we have made similar statements to some tuna people.

Mr. LEGGETT. What is their position with respect to the statement? Mr. GAGE. Well, tuna is not an anadromous fish, and I really can't speak to their position insofar as this.

Mr. LEGGETT. I notice you have some savings in your statement for tuna.
