Frank Lautenberg: “They cannot even go sometimes to the age of civilization in some of these facilities.”

I am concerned that with our budget difficulties we will continue to see declining budgets for Defense Nuclear Non-Proliferation activities in favor of Weapons Activities.

One of our top priorities will be completing the work of Wall Street Reform Act by providing Federal regulators the resources they need.

Efforts to consolidate these grants could shift critical grant funds away from the areas most at-risk for a terror attack, like my State of New Jersey.

I am deeply troubled with this budget. The Coast Guard does not have adequate funding to do everything we expect them to do.
