Bill has two SSC-related items

The defense authorization bill passed by the House has two projects of interest to Stennis Space Center, Miss. One would provide funding for phase two of the Navy Special Warfare Performance and Injury Prevention Program. The lab at Stennis Space Center supports Special Boat Team 22. The other measure would provide military construction funds to buy about 1,063 acres of land designated as the Western Maneuver Area at Stennis. It will allow Navy SEALs to establish a live-fire training range on the Pearl and Mike's Rivers for pre-deployment training with aircraft and small boats. (Source: Rep. Gene Taylor release, 06/03/10)
