Coast Guard Authorization Comes Up In House Business

From Aviationweek.com 2005 September
The House Rules Committee has begun taking amendment proposals to the fiscal 2006 Coast Guard authorization bill and may meet this week to prepare the bill for floor consideration, Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif.) told colleagues Sept. 8. In particular, House authorizers last spring outlined $1.6 billion for the Coast Guard's Deepwater recapitalization program, while Senate counterparts have authorized $1.1 billion. Even before Hurricane Katrina, in which the Coast Guard has been praised in Washington compared to other Homeland Security Department agencies, authorizers expressed a desire to speed up replacements of the Coast Guard's aging, ailing ships and aircraft. The White House this year offered $966 million as a baseline for funding. But all those figures are sharply higher than the likely amount House and Senate appropriators will approve in their ongoing congressional conference - somewhere between $500 million and $906 million - meaning cuts are coming to the service's reworked proposal, updated this year for the first time since before the 2001 terrorist attacks (DAILY, Aug. 15). The Coast Guard and its industry partners, led by Lockheed Martin Corp. and Northrop Grumman Corp., are watching appropriators closely and hoping they at least get the high end of the range, according to Coast Guard Vice Adm. Terry Cross. The No. 2 uniformed Coast Guardsmen told an audience at the 2005 Sea Services Forum on Sept.
