I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, to my colleague Mr. Hunter and those who have assisted in the drafting of the bill, particularly our staff, I want to thank you for making all of this possible. This bill, which does extend the authorization for the Coast Guard, also provides very, very important elements, most of which you have heard here today. I would urge its passing. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
