“I say to the Senator, you and I both sit on the subcommittee. That point is well-taken, that regardless of some of the aspects of this issue, which can be kind of arcane, when you start talking about air logistics centers, the bottom line is, are we going to fulfill the goal of the BRAC Commission, and that is have three air logistics centers, lean and mean and working at full capacity and ready to go in terms of the readiness of our forces? That is the bottom line. If we compromise the BRAC decision, then we will not have three air logistics centers lean and mean operating at full capacity really ready to do their job in a time of conflict and combat. That is one of the things that really concerns me about this whole issue.”
