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 
Defense 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 Wildlife 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
