Dan Webster: “At this time I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Weber).”

Admiral Fagan, during your address on the state of the Coast Guard, you rightly recognized your Service's funding challenges.

I expect you and Admiral Allan to clearly articulate how you will acquire these vessels and what resources are required to carry out the Coast Guard's polar mission.

Members of the DOGE team are being vetted to ensure qualifications are met and then monitored by Treasury officials throughout their work.

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