GLIN==> LCA Hails Effort To Build New Lakes Icebreaker

The much-needed new Great Lakes icebreaker took a giant step toward
reality today thanks to legislation passed by the House Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure.  Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-MN),
Committee Chairman, included a provision in the Coast Guard
Authorization Act directing the service to spend $153 million to build a
new heavy icebreaker for assignment to the Great Lakes.
