Congress to convene on policy for merchant marine
Congress will debate a revived merchant marine as a national priority. Edward Hurley advocates a 100 million loan fund at 2.5 percent to private interests for freight and passenger ships and for government asset transfers to private hands. Lawmakers seek a plan ensuring U S shipping remains competitive amid foreign competition while preserving national defense. The National Orange supports aligning Congress with home voices.
