Mary Landrieu: “I was there in April with others to commission the first fast response cutter, the Bernard C. Webber.”

That MOU would not have been possible without Alex and without the Federal push coming down to tell them, 'You must work together,' and maybe we need stronger.

There are a lot of people here who are very upset and very angry and very frustrated.

I generally support the goals of the enhancements to the FAST Act, and do believe, as Senator McCaskill said, that having--and both of you--a permanent director, a budget, a staff to give some strength to what you all are trying to do.

Thank goodness I did something.
