Pingree, who’s also a member of the House Armed Services Committee, says she wants Smith to get a first-hand look at a modern and efficient shipbuilding facility.
The congresswoman says the future of shipbuilding funding is at issue because the Budget Control Act could mean substantial, mandatory cuts in government spending starting in January.
