NATIONAL SEA GRANT COLLEGE PROGRAM AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2008 -- (House of Representatives - July 14, 2008)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the majority, capably led by Congresswoman MADELEINE BORDALLO of the Republic of Guam, has superbly explained the bill. The National Sea Grant College Program has been an important component in addressing local and regional research for needs for ocean and Great Lakes issues. The program, such as the one at Buford, South Carolina, has been extremely effective in disseminating science-based information to citizens through education and outreach programs.

H.R. 5618 reauthorizes this important marine science program, and I support its passage with particular appreciation for the Buford Laboratory.

I yield back the balance of my time.
