Mr. YOUNG of Alaska introduced the following joint resolution; which was

JOINT RESOLUTION
To designate the second week of August 1994 as ‘‘National
U.S. Seafood Week’’.
Whereas seafood is an important natural resource commer-
cially harvested from the waters of every region of the
United States;
Whereas an increasing amount of seafood is also available
through United States aquaculture production;
Whereas the United States seafood industry provides hun-
dreds of thousands of jobs and includes fish harvesters,
growers, processors, managers, biologists, shipbuilders
and suppliers, shippers, carriers, marketing personnel,
wholesale and retail sellers, grocers and others;
HJ 387 IH
Whereas the buying and consumption of American seafood
products boosts our national economy and supports the
‘‘Made in the USA’’ theme;
Whereas seafood is one of the healthiest forms of protein,
and is low in calories, fat and cholesterol;
Whereas seafood is being processed in increasingly creative
forms to provide a vast market and a great variety of
products;
Whereas each United States citizen consumes an average of
15 pounds of seafood annually, while citizens of some
other industrialized fishing countries each consume over
50 pounds of seafood annually;
Whereas the United States harvests and produces 10 billion
pounds of seafood annually;
Whereas the United States is the largest exporter of seafood
in the world, but also the second largest importer of sea-
food, and domestic seafood which could be consumed by
United States citizens is being exported to other coun-
tries;
Whereas the average American consumer will unknowingly
purchase foreign seafood due to a lack of awareness
about the availability and superior quality of domestic
seafood;
Whereas competition in the world seafood market has in-
creased, in part due to the subsidization of foreign sea-
food industries, particularly foreign aquaculture;
Whereas domestic seafood is one of the Nation’s most valu-
able sustainable natural resources; and
HJ 387 IH
Whereas the United States could become a much healthier
nation simply by eating a better diet, including eating
more domestic seafood: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the second week of August 1994 be designated as
