Evidence

The committee recommendation lists $65,000,000 for USMMA facilities maintenance and repair/equipment and $100,000,000 for the USMMA capital improvement program.

House Appropriations advanced FY27 THUD report language that funds Merchant Marine Academy capital needs at $165 million total, but only as a committee recommendation, not enacted law.

Womack said the bill includes $165 million for capital needs of the Merchant Marine Academy, and the subcommittee approved the measure.

The subcommittee approved the FY27 THUD bill with the Merchant Marine Academy funding included, showing concrete legislative action but not final enactment.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Womack materially advanced the promise by helping move FY27 appropriations language that includes $165 million for Merchant Marine Academy capital needs through subcommittee/committee approval, but the evidence stops at a committee recommendation and does not show final enacted funding, so the promise is only partially delivered.
