On the recordJune 18, 1997

I say to the Senator, I am a newcomer to this basic issue here, but you have been involved from the beginning of the BRAC process, all the way through. Was it your understanding when this process was set up to close bases, that that was exactly the intent of the entire process, to indeed close bases, and that this issue of privatization in place came along some time afterward as possibly something that was new to the process and has actually thrown that process off track? Is that your understanding?
