Maine Senator Adde notes that members of the General Board and attaches, including officers suspected of misinformation, may block his naval personnel bill. He argues the bill restores bureau autonomy, clarifies command, strengthens the staff corps, offers retirement paths, improves officer flow from Annapolis, and raises pay by up to 20 percent for officers and 40 percent for rank and file.
