Dan Webster: “Thank you to the witnesses and Chairman Royce for being here today, and I look forward to hearing from you.”

I have major concerns about the funding needed to keep up with the backlog in infrastructure, the investments in new assets such as cutters and helicopters and everyday support services to the fleet.

I look forward to hearing what the Coast Guard is doing to ensure its members... have the buildings, facilities, and IT support they need and deserve.

At the same time, our nation has two operational icebreakers, one of which is dedicated to the Service's Antarctic mission in support of the National Science Foundation and is operating well past its intended service life.

the resources required to build, homeport, and maintain Polar Security Cutters are substantial.
