House Committee Halves Naval Funds in Budget Battle
The House Appropriations Committee cut the naval supply bill by 26 271 120 dollars. The action preserves Marine Corps strength and navy efficiency but envisions wage cuts and trimmed luxuries for officers. Navy yard pay would drop 30 percent to align with private shipyards, saving over 13 million annually. The panel rejects Marine Corps manpower cuts and urges broad economy steps across ships, rations, travel, and bonuses.
