Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Mr. Lipinski, Chairman Smith, and the entire House Science, Space, and Technology Committee for their support of this legislation. It is a good bill, and it will spur the creation of new businesses and new jobs. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Before we begin, I want to mention the recent tragedy in the Port of Baltimore. First and foremost, our thoughts are with the victims and their families.
The United States has neglected a core element of its security and prosperity--its historic maritime strength.
Unfortunately, the Coast Guard's efforts to inform Congress and the public of these findings were not prompted by transparency.
This reminds of us the vital importance of the Coast Guard in protecting our nation's waterways.
