LCS Language

Language that would approve the Navy's new dual-buy approach for the Littoral Combat Ship program has been included in the House's draft continuing resolution for funding the government until Sept. 30, 2011.

Section 2314 of the continuing resolution states, "The Secretary of the Navy may award a contract or contracts for up to 20 Littoral Combat Ships subject to the availability of appropriated funds for such purpose."

The House could vote on the continuing resolution today.
