Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
This bill names Runway 5L/23R at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, the "Lieutenant General Carey Runway." It includes congressional findings summarizing Lieutenant General Richard E. Carey’s military service, awards, and biography and states that references to the runway in U.S. documents shall use the new name.
All personas largely supportive; divergence is degree, not opposition.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-focused commemorative naming measure that clearly identifies the asset to be renamed, provides supporting findings, and includes language to treat prior references as references to the new name.
