On the recordJune 13, 1996
My amendment would have addressed Air Force funding for the operation and maintenance of an environmental restoration database center on the site of the former Olmsted Air Force Base, a current Superfund site in Middletown, PA. The Air Force, which has been fully funded by past Congresses to complete the environmental restoration of the former Olmsted Air Force Base--now the Harrisburg International Airport and other properties--refuses to fund a site database center. The center, which would serve as the final step in the site's complete restoration and deletion from the Superfund list, would incorporate data from all current and future environmental investigations. There are two options available to the Congress: either compel the Air Force to use the funds it has already been appropriated, or obtain an additional appropriation.
