I want to ask a general question, for I am not sure the House understands the reason for our focusing upon items relative to military land available in this region. This area is the home of the National Training Center for the Army, that territory which General Schwarzkopf described as the most important in terms of the training required for us to be successful in the Middle East. Adjacent to it by about 30 miles as the crow flies is the Twentynine Palms training base. There are plans in the future to coordinate those activities extensively. Can the gentleman give me some specific indication as to how many acres would be available under this measure just to the east, if there is a need to move to the east, in terms of Fort Irwin's operation?
