Commodore John Barry. no one has done more for the American Navy than the distinguished dean of this House. my friend. the gentleman from Georgia . The distinguished gentleman from Georgia was the author. at least 35 or 40 years ago. of the perfectly fair VinsonTrammell Act. The gentleman from Georgia is the man who. as chairman of the then House Committee on Naval Affairs. saw to it that our American Navy was in the shape it should have been at the time of the crisis in World War II.
