	MAGNUSON Case

		At the time the bill was passed, foreign boats were responsible for 71 percent of the total seafood harvest taken out of the territorial waters of the United States, it was feared that neither the fish nor the American fishermen could survive the overfishing that was taking place.
		It was nearly two months before House and Senate conferees could reach agreement on the bill, and the differences revolved primarily around the creation and jurisdiction of the eight regional councils that were to be responsible for setting the limits on fish to be harvested from each of the various regional fisheries.

		This very well researched and documented biography goes back to Magnuson's roots in North Dakota, to his activism in the leftist Washington Commonwealth Federation in the 30's, to his long and distinguished congressional career, and, finally, to his narrow defeat in the Reagan revoluntion of 1980.
		Magnuson is a curiously overlooked figure -- perhaps because he never ran for president, was never majority leader, etc., and tended to let his record speak for him -- yet he arguably wielded as much power as many presidents ever did, especially late in his career.
		As Scates reports, Walter Mondale once said of Magnuson, "He is scrupulously fair with federal funds; one half for Washington state, one half for the rest of the country." Yet his leadership on pro-consumer legislation is probably the finest of any senator, ever.

		I think that we can really truly call him a workhorse, because I think if you look at history, no one ever produced as much legislation as the Chairman of a Committee that is still on the books and still part of the fabric of our laws, as Warren Magnuson did.
		Magnuson in short, really was a workhorse who shied from the limelight.

		Now is an appropriate time to pause in our deliberations and note that this is also the first regular appropriation bill to be passed under the chairmanship of our good friend and colleague, Senator WARREN MAGNUSON, became chairman of the Appropriation Committee just 5 months ago.
		With the same talents he has displayed as chairman of the Commerce Committee, Senator MAGNUSON has now responded to this new challenge by approaching his tasks with a vigorous sense of duty and responsibility.
		The manner in which the distinguished senior Senator from Washington has conducted his committee's business thus far has established the theme for his chairmanship and an excellent example for the Congress: strict control, tempered by fairness and flexibility.
