WASHINGTON, D.C. - The head of the Coast Guard is admitting he didn't finish a study that could make the Rio Grande a lot safer. The confession came at a Homeland Security hearing in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.

The admiral's answer was in response to a question from border Congressman Henry Cuellar.

“In last year’s Coast Guard Authorization Act, there was a provision that said the analysis for the Rio Grande was due on Jan. 15. Any particular reason it’s not been turned in?â€
