Military Bases: Analysis of DoD's Recommendations and Selection Process for Closures and Realignments

Abstract

I am pleased to be here today to testify before the Commission. The Secretary submitted his recommendations to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission on March 12, 1993. As required by the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. lOl510) I as amended, we have submitted to the Commission a detailed analysis of the Secretary's recommendations and selection process. My statement will focus on some of the key issues we raised in our report. Our review indicated that the Secretary of Defense's March 12, 1993, recommendations and selection process for base closures and realignments were generally sound. We believe Department of Defense (DOD) estimates of savings are overstated, but still substantial.
