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

The IRS must be funded at a level that enables it to provide necessary taxpayer assistance and to enforce the laws.

We also need to expand our research into climate change so we better understand the coming impacts, and how to mitigate them.

We must meet this challenge with our full commitment.
