MS 106.3.3.4.4.4 Eben Adams and John Veroneau, 1987-1996, 9 boxes.
John Veroneau handled agriculture, trade, fisheries, and fiscal
issues from 1989 to January, 1994, at which time he became
legislative director for the Cohen office. Many of these issues were
then turned over to Eben Adams, who worked with Senator Cohen from
1992-1996.
Files are arranged alphabetically, and they cover topics such as
groundfish restoration, seafood inspection, and fisheries
management. The Consumer Seafood Safety Act of 1992 (S. 2538); the
Groundfish Restoration Act of 1992 (H.R. 2919); and the Gulf of
Maine Act of 1994 (S. 2241) are some of the significant legislative
initiatives mentioned in this category. The Gulf of Maine Act,
introduced by Senator George Mitchell, sought to establish a Gulf of
Maine Council that would promote the environmental and economic
health of the Gulf of Maine.
