THE PORTSMOUTH NAVAL SHIPYARD
Mr. MUSKIE. Mr. President, I would like to invite the attention of the Senate to a resolution which was recently passed by the Portsmouth Chapter of the Navy League of the United States.
In their meeting on Navy Day, October 24, 1968, that group of distinguished former naval officers expressed its conviction that the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is vital to the defense of the United States. The resolution is as follows:
It was moved, seconded and passed unanimously, that the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard be kept open and in operation for the needed defense of our great country, these United States, and that the representatives in Washington be so advised, that this motion be presented before the Congress of these United States and be placed upon the Congressional Record.
