We can only hope that is not going to take too long, because the coast guard does perform a vital service to this country.
Mr. Da Pont, you mentioned, of course, that the maintenance is a problem because you may not have enough people. I was quite troubled by the word “may”, because you've been dealing with this problem for years and years, and you still haven't figured out if you have a shortage of manpower or if you don't have a shortage of manpower, or if they're just ill-trained and ill-equipped and in the wrong place at the wrong time. I don't know what the problem is.
But when are we going to get definitive statements from the coast guard of, yes, we see the problem, we have identified how to fix it, and we're going to get it fixed? When are we going to get that kind of language?
