Mark Warner: “I simply say to my good friend, a very valuable adviser for these many years, this BRAC legislation is to take Congress…”

“I simply say to my good friend, a very valuable adviser for these many years, this BRAC legislation is to take Congress and remove it, once we make the decision to go forward with a BRAC, because the very essence of BRAC was so distorted by a certain political individual some years ago. I have to tell my dear friend, it took a lot of effort to get this law in place. To dislodge it and terminate it, as this amendment does-- this is a killer amendment to BRAC--and then leave in limbo these communities with 2 years of uncertainty, not being able to attract business, not being able to do things in their community, with this cloud over their head as to the probability or improbability of their base remaining, is a dangerous situation.”
