Let us look at what the Coast Guard is responsible for. Again. thirdparty validators. The Coast Guard on a typical day saves 15 lives. assists 117 people in distress. protects $2.8 million in property. interdicts 30 illegal migrants at sea. conducts 90 search and rescue cases. seizes $21 million worth of illegal drugs. responds to 11 oil and hazardous chemical spills. and boards and inspects 122 vessels. There are 361 ports in this country that they are responsible for. and we have 95.000 miles of coastline. And the difference between what the Coast Guard has said they needed. $7.2 billion to really complete their mission in terms of port security. and what the Republican leadership here has appropriated. $910 million. is $6 billion.
