Tom Carper actually said...

coastal Louisiana is extremely important for our economy but also to the Nation's economy and to the nation's future.

We need to continue to equip this agency, the Army Corps, with the tools it needs to amply protect our Nation's coast.

We're here today, though, to talk about the impacts of sea level rise caused by climate change.

a special thanks goes to you, Senator Carper, and to you, Congresswoman Blunt Rochester, for your leadership and your support
