Always wide open. Sometimes theyre choked with ice. Mr. President , hopefully you and i are goerg toe have an opportunity to go up and see some ice. And understand what is going on inhe understand what is going on in the bearing straits, understand what is in the baring straits, and to appreciate the ft an arctic nation, we have one polar security cutter that io s in th water. You know what . She doesnt even go to the arctic. She plows out mcmurd every year, and she is so old and shes so tired, she has to go back into dry dock, and she sits therentdone. Then she goes back and she plows out mcmurdo. So were probably never going to see her in the shame. What a shame. Because russias got more than their share of ice breakers up there. By some counts, over 50, 54. China has their ice breakers that theyre working on. We have they have six we know of, probably me by now. Were not engaging as an arrangementsic nation as an arctic nation, when others can move i the arctic and we cant. We cant.
