Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. We need polar icebreakers. This body is going to push; Mr. Garamendi and I are going to push and push until we have polar icebreakers and we have at least \1/140\ the capability of Russia. That is a pretty low bar that we are setting for ourselves, but we are going to set it right here, right now, in this body. Let's at least have \1/140\ of the capability or Russia, build those polar icebreakers. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support H.R. 5978. I yield back the balance of my time.
