Collins Receives Bateman Award
The American Shipbuilding Association (ASA) said that Senator Susan Collins (RME) is the 2007 recipient of the Herbert H. Bateman Award. Senator Collins was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1996 and reelected in 2002, and is Ranking Member and former Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. She also serves on the Armed Services Committee. "Senator Collins is a consistent, strong advocate for the shipbuilding industry of the United States. She helped to defeat the Navy's 'One Shipyard' policy to ensure that both Bath Iron Works and Ingalls continue to design and build surface combatants for the Navy. She promotes alternative financing methods for naval ships in order to increase the number of ships contracted annually, and she champions legislation to require that ships for our military be built in American shipyards," said Cynthia L. Brown, President of ASA. The award was established by the
ASA in 2000, and is the shipbuilding industry's highest recognition of an individual in the Executive Branch, Legislative Branch, or industry who has demonstrated consistent, outstanding and inspirational leadership in the shipbuilding industry.
