I have major concern about the delayed PSC program and the amount of funding actually needed to just get one ship built.
Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. I am proud to stand here as vice chair of the New Democrat Coalition to make it clear that we are here, 5 weeks into this new Congress, fighting to end the chaos of this new administration…
I have major concerns about the funding needed to keep up with the backlog in infrastructure, the investment in the new assets such as cutters and helicopters, and everyday support services to the fleet.
If Congress does not double the Coast Guard's budget in 2026, the Service will either have to abandon the program, cease construction of Offshore Patrol Cutters, or cut significant portions of its operations.
