I think we can further spread the idea that our coastal waters are worth saving. The Coast Guard does a great job in dealing with the fisheries issue, the illegal immigrants issue, the whole maritime safety issue, the environmental pollution areas that they work hard on on a very daily, regular basis, and the issue of the interdiction of drugs. I think on every facet of this legislation, we have worked in an atmosphere of cooperation, and we certainly appreciate that on our side of the aisle.

I think this is something that can be worked out on a bipartisan basis, and doesn't need to be one side of the aisle, and doesn't need to be contentious.
