The membership also includes more than 20 members in the Se attle area, notably Seattle Harbor Tours and the Washington State Ferry System, which we are very pleased to work with them. I will be in Seattle this weekend for our regional meeting preparing for some Coast Guard hearings on Monday.

We have been pleased with the introduction of this legislation that it is giving Congress the opportunity to highlight this partien lar part of the maritime industry. We are also pleased that we are able to represent the only two large us. Cruise ships that pres ently operate under the us. flag, that being the ss. Independence and the ss. Constitution which are owned by the Delta Queen Steamboat Company of New Orleans. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
