Dan Webster: “Unfortunately, this growth comes with administrative challenges that severely impact the effectiveness of the program.”

I look forward to hearing from you on what you are doing to address those challenges.

At the same time, we are here to examine what investments must be made into the Coast Guard's most valuable resource: its people.

We just want to get ships built. That is all we want to do. Tell us how to do it. We will get the money for you.

Thank you both for being here today. I really appreciate it.
