On the recordDecember 16, 2005
That particular bill, the Coast Guard Hurricane Relief Act of 2005, again gives me the opportunity to comment and really praise the tremendous work that was carried out by our Coast Guard in the recent hurricanes. Many of us had the opportunity to tell them directly, both in Mississippi and in Louisiana, and thank them for their tremendous and heroic effort. We had the opportunity to witness much of that on television over those first few days after the hurricane. But to have the opportunity to look these individuals in the eyes and thank them and shake their hand has been a privilege that some of us on the floor have had. It has been a tremendous job that makes America proud. ____________________
