Mr. Speaker, I am grateful for the opportunity to honor an outstanding member of south Jersey. Over the weekend, Michael Bryan of Dennis Township, New Jersey, achieved the great honor of being raised to Eagle Scout. Michael is a member of the National Honor Society and, for his Eagle Scout project, acquired the skills to weld a stand for an American World War II plane propeller that was pulled out of the Atlantic Ocean. It honors the 42 servicemembers who perished during training at NAS Wildwood. Michael plans to follow in the footsteps of his father and his grandfather and enroll in the Coast Guard to bravely serve and defend our country. We are all looking for heroes. Some look to celebrities. Some look to Washington, God help them. But I look to men like Michael Bryan who make a difference in their community. He is south Jersey's hero. He is an American hero. ____________________

I hope to work closely together over the coming years to realize the full potential of the Technical Center, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the United States of America.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, thank you for having this hearing. It is valuable. It is worthwhile, and I know it is only the very, very rudimentary beginning, but it is still good.

The details of the rule, in my opinion, are insane.

I believe that we have, but is this an avenue the Coast Guard has explored to help the high costs that are located by these bases?
