Only the secretary of defense would be a member of the cabinet. . : The bill guarantees the continuance of the marine corps and the naval air arm. Rep. Clare E. Hoffman (R. Mich.) told the house that “this legislation is as important as anything that Has come before congress.” The senate approved the bill in its final form yesterday.
