We believe that we need more. because the Coast Guard just is not for coastal areas or rescuing people in jet planes. It is also for the Nation when it comes to drug Interdiction. oilspill cleanup opportunities. not only on the oceans but in the rivers. It was. also. the immigration problems. The Coast Guard has been charged with numerous responsibilities by this Congress. I will say that Congress has. under the leadership of this committee. tried to fund them adequately. and I believe that we have to bring it home to this administration and to other Members of this Congress that we should be increasing the spending to a greater degree.
