Thad Cochran: “It is important to ensure that nothing comparable to the Deepwater Horizon incident ever happens again.”

If we go back in sequestration, what affect would it have on the Corps of Engineers, Mr. Speer?

We appreciate very much your leadership in the research effort and we commend you and those who work with you for helping make sure we have what we need in order to make our nation safe and secure.

We want to know what the priorities are for funding.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
