Frank Lautenberg: “I fought like the devil, and we got $13 billion over the next 5 years reauthorized for investments in Amtrak.”

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

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

I am deeply concerned that recent cuts to the IRS budget are jeopardizing its ability to carry out this vital mission.

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