there may be no point in keeping a Loran-C receiver.

OPINION AND SPECULATION

I had earlier seen Susan Collins discussing LORAN funding with Janet
Napolitano. Based on this discussion alone, I'd speculate that LORAN
funding will be in the budget for some time to come. Collins was at least
partially addressing the lobster fishermen in her home state with this
performance, but that aside she has quite a bit of credibility on the Hill.
