Frank Lautenberg: “What kind of actions did the Department of Homeland Security take to help you increase your level of security?”

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

We need to bolster TTB so it has the ability to investigate and stop the illicit tobacco trade and collect the revenue we need.

We must meet this challenge with our full commitment.

With my State's continued challenges and stubbornly high foreclosure rates, I call on the Treasury Department to redouble its efforts to ensure that New Jersey homeowners receive the help they need.
