Daniel Webster actually said...

"This is my warning to the Coast Guard: Please start saving yourselves from your own sinking ship."

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

"Today, our subcommittee meets to highlight the extraordinary successes of the men and women of the Coast Guard."

"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."
