Frank Lautenberg: “This is our chance to actually do it.”

The Coast Guard needs 58 fast response cutters (FRCs) to replace their aging fleet of patrol boats.

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'm proud to have written the only Federal law on ocean acidification--'The Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Act'.

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