House OKs 35 percent split for Navy yard repairs
The House approved Senate language on a 186-10-117 vote as part of a 46.7 billion military appropriation. The measure requires that at least 35 percent of repair and conversion work be done in private shipyards, a move opponents say threatens public yard payrolls. Rep. George Mahon led the push, arguing for the split to favor Navy yard interests despite protests from lawmakers in public yard states.
