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