WASHINGTON-North Coast Congressman Mike Thompson today was able to attach an
amendment to provide disaster assistance for California and Oregon fishers
to the Science, State, Justice and Commerce Appropriations Bill.  Thompson
and members of the California and Oregon Congressional delegations offered
the amendment which will transfer $2 million in funding from the Department
of Commerce's administrative budget to NOAA Fisheries.  The funding is meant
to be a placeholder for additional disaster assistance funding as the
appropriations bill moves through the Senate and then a conference
committee.  

Thompson delivered three speeches on the House floor today.  Links to video
of the speeches can be found below:
