A new plan would give the Navy power to start new ship-building and repair projects, as Congress finalizes a 2011 spending bill.

House seapower subcommittee chairman Todd Akin (R-Mo.) wants to add that language to a future continuing resolution.

Politico reports the existing CR has caused the Navy to miss construction starts and other scheduled projects. The CR prevents military services from starting new programs.

Akin has made his request in a letter to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

A long-delayed disaster aid bill that’s a top political priority for some of President Donald Trump’s GOP allies is facing a potentially tricky path as it heads to the Senate floor this week. Although the measure has wide backing from both parties, the White House isn’t pleased with the bill and is particularly opposed to efforts by Democrats to make hurricane relief to Puerto Rico more generous.
