EDA approved the project in September 1966 and already has provided $126,000. Last season, the 4 vessels were practi- cally crowded off the grounds by the huge So- viet .fleet thatblanketed the areas of high hake concentrations from mid-May to December 1966. As a result, the study objectives were not fully realized. However, conditions are more favorable this season laecause of the new 12-mile fisheries zones and the signed agreement to keep the Soviet fleet seaward of 60 fathoms between Grays Harbor and the south side of the Columbia River. BCF personnel met with EDA officials on April 18 to discuss the new request for more money and supplied information to justify it. * * * PUGET SOUND HAKE CATCH ROSE IN 1966 The catch of Pacific hake in Puget Sound's inside waters, primarily from Port Susan and Saratoga Passage, reached 9 million pounds for the winter-spring 1966/67 season. The catch for the 1965/66 season was 6^ million pounds. Five vessels par tic ipated in the 1966/67 season of the new fishery, which re- sulted from BCF exploratory fishing and gear development. The most active vessels again were the 78-foot "St. Michael" and the 59-foot "St. Janet". They achieved average catch rates of 10,400 and 8,800 of fishing time, respectively, for the entire sea- son.

Michigan's Governor Romney referred the matter to his Cons
