On the recordJuly 19, 2004
H.R. 4158 is a noncontroversial piece of legislation to convey to the Government of Mexico at no cost to the U.S. taxpayer the decommissioned hydrographic survey vessel Whiting from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. I want to go on record to commend the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Ortiz) for recognizing the value of conveying the vessel to help strengthen the Mexican Government's civilian hydrographic survey capabilities in the Gulf of Mexico and to participate in joint hydrographic operations with the United States.
