MILITARY BASES: Letters and Requests Received on Proposed Closures and Realignments

Abstract

This is a supplement to our report entitled Military Bases: Analysis of DODs Recommendations and Selection Process for Closures and Realignments (GAO/NSIAD-93-173, Apr. 15,1993). Many interested parties, including Members of Congress, local government officials, and private citizens, have sent us correspondence on base closures. Several of these letters were from multiple requesters and included attachments of data, analyses, and/or evaluations. Additionally, some were delivered as part of a briefing or explanatory presentation. In some instances, the letters and material provided useful leads. In other cases, the materials add support to issues we were actively pursuing. We were not able to follow up on many of the issues or points because of the limited time available to us. However, we believe that the letters and materials may be helpful to the Commission as it considers the proposed closures and realignments. Consequently, we are providing all of the letters and materials to the Commission for consideration. Appendix I contains copies of the letters and some of the materials we received. We are sending copies of this report to the Chairmen, Senate and House Committees on Armed Services and Subcommittees on Defense, Senate and House Committees on Appropriations; individual Members of a Congress; and the Secretaries of Defense, the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force. We will also make copies available to others on request.
