U.S. Sens. John McCain and Carl Levin just agreed on the Senate floor to bring up the Burr Amendment to the defense authorization bill this afternoon.
That would be the amendment to keep the Navy from building an outlying landing field at either of two sites in Gates and Camden counties. The two locations are among several the Navy is considering.
Sens. Richard Burr and Kay Hagan tried to get the amendment passed in the Senate Armed Services Committee but failed. Now, they’ll try again on the Senate floor, reports Barb Barrett. Expect Burr on the Senate floor this afternoon (C-SPAN 2 if you’re a junkie) to talk about his amendment. Hagan may speak as well.
A vote on the OLF amendment could come later today.
