That sentence, in plain words

This money runs the Navy and the Marine Corps day to day. A small slice may go to urgent or unusual costs.

What this is about

Operation and maintenance pays for fuel, repairs, training and bases. It is the largest kind of defense account. Each service has its own.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
