Peter DeFazio actually said...

"This President has already mentioned his strong support for the Jones Act, unlike the last one, who didn't even know what it was."

"Unfortunately, the maritime industry has not been included in any of these."

"I supported adoption of that program as part of a T&I Committee amendment which also included assistance for port development and mariner education and training."

"I applaud President Biden for affirming support for the Jones Act; the industry needs strong Federal support in order to weather this storm."
