Dan Webster: “While EDA can and does fund some broadband projects, we must ensure any unnecessary hurdles are addressed so we can help…”

We absolutely have to do better on this.

To date, we have yet to see such a plan, let alone a cost estimate or a timeline of the first vessel in the fleet.

The United States has relied on the Coast Guard's persistent presence to demonstrate American sovereignty in the Arctic since the United States acquired Alaska in 1867.

Thank you for your answer. I am hoping that there is also coming with that nine necessary vessels some sort of timeline.
