Navy To Ask Congress To Fix FY-12 Budget After FY-11 Settled

摘要

While the Navy is waiting until the smoke clears from the fiscal year 2011 budget debate before asking lawmakers to add funds to the FY-12 request, the service is continuing to construct an FY-13 budget as uncertainties pile up, service officials said this week. After a March 16 congressional hearing, Sean Stackley, assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition, told Inside the Navy it is practically impossible to talk to lawmakers about how much extra money the service will need while the rest of FY-11 is still up in the air.
