Push by who? That's upsetting.



Thank you. I would have written it up last night but the brain was numb.

As for using the Plan for 2018 and 2019 that came from Staff during the briefing. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "push" but it was clear to me that the Plan would certainly be the template for NOF for those two years because NOAA would not be able to formalize the Plan in time for 2018 and most likely not for 2019.
