DUNCAN HUNTER NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009 -- (House of Representatives - September 24, 2008)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. SHEA-PORTER. I thank the gentleman.

I rise today in strong support for the men and women of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard has prepared a detailed capital improvement program that elevates their shipyard from the gold standard to the platinum standard. It will ensure that the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is prepared to meet future challenges required of the Navy's long-term ship repair vision. I support this long-term capital investment strategy and believe that it is incumbent on the Congress to support all of our public shipyards and, most importantly, the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Capital Improvement Program.

I yield to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Skelton).

Ms. SHEA-PORTER. I appreciate the chairman's support for my request to include these projects in this year's National Defense Authorization Act and, most importantly, the chairman's support of the men and women at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
