HR2823 called the DOLPHIN CONSERVATION BILL has just passed the house of Representatives and is now before the Senate as S1420. This bill was drafted with the help of Greenpeace, Center for Marine Conservation, World Wildlife Federation, National Wildlife Foundation and Environmental Derfense Fund (Annie Petsonk is with Environmental Defense Fund straight from Clinton Trade Council..hmmmmmm!) This bill allows Mexico to export their tuna to the U.S. using the same methos (Purse Seine Nets) which we outlawed in this country 6 years ago (because they murdered dolphins) when we introduced the Dolphin Safe Tuna label. It is imperative that our senators be notified and petitions be circulated to protest S1420. It is also imperative that concerned environmentalists should contact Greenpeace, Center for Marine Conservation, World Wilkdlife Federation, National Wildlife Foundation and Environmental Defense Fund to voice our disdain over their selling the dolphins down the river for a few pesos. If this bill does pass the Senate, it then goes on for the signature of Bill Clinton. It is an election year. Let's not let him forget that. Thanks for your help and concern. Tom Yarborough, President Save the Dolphin Foundation
