      COAST GUARD STATION WASHINGTON TO HOST GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY

      PORTSMOUTH, Va. -- U.S. Coast Guard Station Washington, D.C.,
will host a groundbreaking ceremony at Bolling Air Force Base
Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.

      The future facility on the grounds of Bolling AFB will provide
Station Washington crew members the infrastructure required to sustain
and support their mission in the National Capital Region. Over the
past three years the men and women of Station Washington have
pioneered ports, waterways, and coastal security operations in the
capital region while operating out of portable trailer.

      This new facility will provide the crew enhanced operational
capabilities in the NCR while providing state of the art equipment to
allow for sustained command and control, deterrence, detection and
prevention of further terrorist attacks in the waters around our
nation's capital.

      *Members of the media are invited to attend and will be
permitted on-board Bolling AFB for the ceremony. It is requested that
all members of the media wishing to attend contact Petty Officer Chris
Evanson at 757-398-6274 to obtain credentials.
