Tony Hall: “Mr. Speaker, this bill funds construction projects on military bases. This includes homes for military families…”

On the recordMay 16, 2000
Mr. Speaker, this bill funds construction projects on military bases. This includes homes for military families, hospitals, laboratories, training facilities, barracks and other buildings that support the missions of our armed forces. The bill also funds activities necessary to carry out the last two rounds of base closings and realignments. Our military requires modern facilities. New buildings can improve productivity, reduce waste and improve morale. The money spent in this bill is a long-term commitment to our defense capabilities. This bill funds a new ramp to replace one used by the 445th Airlift Wing on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which is partially in my district and partially in the 7th District. The current ramp is costly to maintain, and it is in such bad condition that it is a safety hazard. Another project at Wright-Patterson is a laboratory building to conduct environmental and toxics research.
