Solon Defends Redeployment Methods In Senate debate
Senator Scott Lucas defended the army redeployment from Europe amid claims of poor planning. He cited rail and transport progress, noted 50,000 servicemen discharged since May 12, and backed faster homeward moves despite logistics concerns raised by the Mead committee. Senator Mead pressed for coordinated agency action and shipping capacity. Senator Walter George urged using German ships to speed crossings, while Louis Mead warned channel and harbor constraints hindered movements.
