Title: COAST GUARD: ANALYSIS OF THE FY2000 BUDGET
Authors: Martin R. Lee, Resources, Science, and Industry Division 
Abstract: Congress considers FY2000 appropriations for the Coast Guard as part of the annual department of Transportation and Related Agencies bill.

Capital replacement needs for replacing aging craft and proposed new user fees to offset increasing budget pressures are two major issues.
