On the recordFebruary 8, 2018
I thank my colleague from Mississippi for his strong leadership on this issue as well. I think we are seeing here that Democrats and Republicans are pretty much all united on this issue. We are hopeful to move not only the VIDA Act but also the broader Coast Guard bill out of the Senate, get it passed, and get it to the President's desk. That is going to be good for the men and women of the Coast Guard, it is going to be good for our maritime and fishing interests, and it is going to be good for the country. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Sasse). The Senator from Arizona.
