Quote:
“I hope that we in Congress -- and again, on a bipartisan basis -- can put more money into this Deepwater program of the Coast Guard to modernize their fleet. Some of us on the committee serve on the Armed Services Committee as well. And while the amount of money put into this fleet modernization program for the Coast Guard is not insignificant, it truly does pale in comparison to the billions of dollars we're putting into other programs through the Department of Defense. And I do think we've got to start to look at Coast Guard capital needs in the same way we do the services. So I hope we can turn that around here.”
Senator Joseph Lieberman, (D-CT), Ranking Member, Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, comments during testimony of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, February 9, 2004
