Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from U. S. Coast Guard Reauthorization: Hearing Before the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, May 26, 1993 U.S. Senate, Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Washington, DC. The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m. in room SR-253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. Ernest F. Hollings (chairman of the committee) presiding. Staff members assigned to this hearing: Penelope D. Dalton and Lila H. Helms, professional staff members; and John A. Moran, minority staff counsel. Opening Statement Of Senator Hollings The Chairman. Admiral Kime and your associates, we welcome you to the committee. The Coast Guard in 1790 I think was designed to arrest smuggling and collect revenues and has now taken on Haitian refugees, drugs, the safety at sea, hurricane recoveries - everything in the world - and of course the economic zone has been extended, so you have had quite an enlarged mission. In the 3 years that you have come on board it has kept enlarging. I would like to hear, and I am sure the committee would like to hear about your experience and how you think that the goals and perspectives of the agency have been fulfilled since you have been the commandant. Senator Stevens, Senator Kerry, and I plan to introduce an authorization bill this week, that is consistent with the legislative package the administration has proposed. President Clinton has requested $3.8 billion for the fiscal year 1994, an increase of $147 million or 4 percent over last year. The request includes several high-priority items. Among them, of course, is the seagoing and coastal buoy tender replacements, the acquisition of the final three Jayhawk helicopters, upgrading vessel traffic service systems at some seven high-risk ports, and funding for family housing and barracks upgrades. With respect to housing, of course we have got to take care of the troops. They are doing a remarkable job. I do not see how they do it continually under the pressures and dangers that I note from time to time, just following their activities. I will insert my prepared statement in the record at this point. [The prepared statement of Senator Hollings follows:] Prepared Statement of Senator Hollings Good morning. The committee meets today to review the programs and funding needs of the U.S. Coast Guard for the upcoming fiscal year. I welcome Admiral Kime and his associates. Admiral, it has been nearly 3 years since your confirmation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
