Oregon gets small win on salmon disaster funding..............

WASHINGTON (AP) The House approved $2 million Wednesday for salmon fishermen suffering from a sharply curtailed fishing season because the government is more tightly limiting their catch.
The money is a fraction of the $81 million West Coast lawmakers want. But frustrated over the Bush administration's failure to declare a disaster to help the fishermen, lawmakers hope the vote will keep the door open to add more money later.
