On the recordJune 23, 1997
Fort Indiantown Gap, in Pennsylvania, has an ongoing academic complex program whereby about 4,000 soldiers are trained and educated every year in every aspect of our military defense. There is an authorization that ends on September 30 for completion of the barracks complex to house these individuals who receive this special training. What my amendment does, and which the chairman and the ranking member have graciously accepted, would extend the authorization to permit the completion of the barracks complex, thus ensuring that the trainees will have the adequate billeting space and quality to pursue the studies.
