I'm happy we have such a diverse panel so that we can gain their perspectives on the issues facing ports, harbors, and inland waterways.

The needs of our ports, harbors, and inland waterways are substantial, and they continue to grow.

That Congress has allowed this to persist, as our needs only continue to grow, represents a problem in dire need of a solution.
