If I have my way, these big Russian ships won't be fishing our coastline next year, fishing out entire stocks, leaving our own fishermen with smaller and smaller catches, and driving up prices in the fish market. That's why I've co-sponsored the new 200-mile limit and pushed it through the Congress. I'm Scoop Jackson from a fishing town, and I want to put U.S. fishwaters in U.S. hands the sooner the better. Let's have a president who does something. Elect Senator Scoop Jackson while there's still time to save the 70s.
