"I'm not happy, as you are aware, sir, that we are closing the security unit at the Port of New York."

"In fact, according to the FBI, the most 'at-risk' area in the entire United States for a terrorist attack is the two-mile stretch between Newark Liberty International Airport and the Port of Newark."

"Preventing another terrorist attack from occurring within our borders is our solemn duty--and the Coast Guard plays a vital role in that effort."

"We always find ways to give assignments to the Coast Guard. First of all, your weakness is your skill. You're too good."
