Congress to authorize an addition
al $529,386,800 worth of construc
tion at Army, Navy, Marine Corps
and Air Force installations.
Included are 169 new construc

Philippines and Cuba.
Still other projects will be at
undisclosed locations, a Defense

be for Army installations, $96,
138.000 for the Navy and $287,
628.000 for the Air Force.
Projects within the United States

“The use of existing construc

projects will enable the military

struction purposes,” the depart
ment said.
