Pacific. and Gulf Coasts. This Deepwater initiative is really critical to keep the Coast Guard competitive. to keep it in line with all the additional responsibilities we in the Congress have saddled upon the Coast Guard. and to keep the United States vigilant in maintaining the integrity of our coastline. I will not go into all the many other initiatives. the fisheries enforcement. migrant interdiction. drug interdiction along our coast that the Coast Guard carries out. We really salute the men and women with the special blue of the U.S. Coast Guard and do so in a very practical and realistic way in this legislation.
