As a committee, we did some travel and covered some ports on the east coast of the country and on the west coast, of course—the major ports. We've been told by different groups that data collection, digitization and so on are important elements of future efficient ports, but we've heard some conflicting views on how much of that should be done from different perspectives. I guess currently the question is, how do we manage ports and how do we see things going forward if this bill is passed?
