Title
Additional Provisions for Naval Equipment
Description
Discussed cost of frigates mandated to be built to defend U.S. trade against Algiers and change in size of frigates (as ordered by the President). Advised that some ship construction should proceed immediately while materials and labor are still available/present. The remaining materials are authorized to be dispensed with and remaining money be used to dispense the public debt; noting a peace with Morocco could mean a peace with Algiers.
