I am here for two reasons this morning, and I will be brief. One is to reluctantly support my friend Ray Mabus for Secretary of the Navy, only under the condition that he be fair to the State of Louisiana in shipbuilding with our neighbor Mississippi.
Landrieu supports Mabus's nomination but emphasizes fairness to Louisiana's shipbuilding interests.

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.
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.
