The House Naval Affairs Committee moved to insert a separate item authorizing $1,000,000 for aircraft in the naval appropriation bill, despite Secretary Daniels not endorsing a specific aeroplane fund. Captain Bristol urged the full committee to spend up to $1,000,000 for aircraft, ships, and destroyers, while Daniels favored a lump sum under the Bureau of Steam Engineering. The decision reflected pressure to bolster aviation capacity amid World War I and the current modest Aircraft holdings.
