Title
Questioning the Need for Completing the Frigates
Description
Refers to a contract for supplies in Georgia related to the proposed Indian treaty. Since the Treaty with Algiers has been completed, the Act for providing naval armaments may be unnecessary. Perhaps this project should be laid before the President with the idea that the legislature might want to reconsider completing the frigates currently under construction.
