R. 5576] The Committee on Naval Affairs of the Senate, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 5576) to authorize the Secretary of the Navy to proceed with certain public works, and for other purposes, having considered the same, report it to the Senate with the recommendation that the bill do pass. H. R. 5576 is a companion bill of S. 1838, both being department bills. The purpose of the bill is to authorize the Secretary of the Navy to proceed with the construction of certain public-works projects at the various naval shore establishments at a cost not to exceed the amount stated for each item in this bill. This bill is simply an authorization bill, which authorizes future appropriations for the projects named, and does not appropriate any money. In view of the fact that both the House and Senate Committee on Naval Affairs held hearings on this bill and as H. R. 5576 has already passed the House and has been referred to this committee, it is reported out without amendment. As an explanation and description of the need for each item of improvement contained in the bill and the reasons for recommending the acquisition of certain land is given in House Report No. 261, it is hereby made a part of this report. The limit of cost of the above items is $38,098,000. The bill has the recommendation of the Navy Department. |
