Conducted over 2700 vessel inspections. and Seized hundreds of pounds of drugs (Marijuana and Cocaine). In the event my distinguished colleagues arent already amazed let me continue. More than twothirds of the total budget for the Coast Guard goes to operating expenses to protect public safety and the marine environment. to enforce fishery and other laws and treaties. maintain aids to navigation. prevent illegal drug trafficking and illegal immigrants. and preserve defense readiness. I believe its our responsibility to ensure that the Coast Guard has adequate resources for its missions as it prepares for the next century. As Ive outlined. the resources we provide to the Coast Guard have a direct impact on our communities.
