General Wood to Command Troops in Mexico Crisis
The joint army and navy board met in Washington and planned coordination with Mexico in mind.

Proposals seek rapid passage of a large volunteer army based on the Hay bill, enabling militia mustering with 75 percent consent. Senators discussed emergency funding, with $50 million eyed if requested.
