Sen. Ted Stevens holds up a live Alaska king crab during a Washington news conference on February 7, 1974, telling the media that he wanted to extend the 12-mile offshore territorial limit for foreign fishing fleets to 200-miles. "Alaska has 30,000 jobs at stake in the fishing and fishery-related industries, and every year the problem gets more serious, and now is the time for strong action," Stevens said.
