since the coast guard's founding in 1790 by alexander hamilton, americans have relied on this service to protect our maritime interests. the coast guard has secured our sovereignity in times of war and peace and safeguarded the person public during times of national catastrophe. as one of the five branches of the u.s. armed forces, the coast guard serves as a critical link between the department of defense and the department of homeland security. my role as chairwoman of the d.h.s. appropriations subcommittee and previously as the subcommittee's ranking member, has afforded me the opportunity to more fully appreciate the challenging work of the men and weapon -- women of the coast guard. this includes saving more than 11,000 lives after the devastating impacts of hurkts maria, irma, harvey, florence, and michael to the cumulative interdiction of 432 tons of cocaine over the past two years. one of the greatest examples of coasty dedication and effectiveness is captain adam shamey who has served as a coast guard liaison to the house of representatives for the past two years. adam has co

the coast guard is a fine example. but, let's say that -- so over the last three years, they removed 1.4 million pounds, and over the next three years, let's say they remove a million pounds. that doesn't mean it's a failing grade. it could mean that our efforts with president duke in colombia, the areal efforts have restarted. and that they're moving towards illicit crops. so i think that's why we have to measure effectiveness, not just pure numbers. >> director, i've visited colombia and visited our troops who are embedded with the colombian military. >> yes, sir. >> to try to change from one crop to another. and to also engage in the interdiction efforts, also. and they are making good progress. but let me tell you what, in an interview published in 2017, admiral paul zukompf who was then the commander of the coast guard said, because of resource limitations, the coast guard cannot catch all of the drug smuggling we know about. he stated that in the previous year. the intelligence had him on nearly 500 possible ship
