Coast Guard: Key Budget Issues for Fiscal Year 1999 and 2000. Statement of John H. Anderson, Jr., Director, Transportation Issues, Resources, Community and Economic Development Division
The testimony discusses several key issues related to the Coast Guard's budgets for fiscal years 1999 and 2000. The Coast Guard, an agency within the Department of Transportation (DOT), is responsible for maritime missions that range from search and rescue operations to the enforcement of fisheries, immigration, and drug laws. The testimony, which is based on GAO's recently completed and ongoing work at the Coast Guard, addresses three topics: (1) the Coast Guard's progress in justifying the Deepwater Replacement Project and addressing our concerns about its affordability, (2) the Coast Guard's plans for spending its fiscal year 1999 emergency funds, and (3) the budget strategies the agency may have to consider in the future to address continuing budget constraints.
