Randall Cunningham: “The base realignment and closure, because during the 1993 rounds there is not even the dollars to close those bases…”

On the recordFebruary 23, 1994
The base realignment and closure, because during the 1993 rounds there is not even the dollars to close those bases, take care of the environmental concerns, so that we can actually save dollars down the line. Both the Marine Corps Commandant and the Chief of Naval Operations said unless we can get these facilities closed as the administration is planning, we will not reap the savings, so that what we will have down the line is no new airplanes, we will be totally out of business, both the Marine Corps, the Navy, and the Air Force.
