On the recordDecember 12, 2012
To conclude, this is the Coast Guard reauthorization bill. It is a bill that has taken a while to work out between all of the parties, but it has incredible value, obviously, for my home State of Alaska and for the Presiding Officer's home State of Washington and for, really, the country to make sure we have the right elements for our Coast Guard. It is very exciting to see it now moves from this side, and we anticipate the House will accept it. So thank you very much, Madam President. I note the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk called the roll.
