A 'banner day' for Hill
Utah air base survives; chemical depot does not
"Any time you lose even some jobs, you cannot be completely happy," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, but he nevertheless called it a "banner day."
Before closures or downsizings can take effect, the Defense Department's proposal must be approved or changed by a federal base-closing commission by Sept. 8, and then approved by Congress and President Bush in a process that will run into the fall.
The Pentagon proposes shutting about 180 military installations from Maine to Hawaii, including 33 major bases, triggering the first round of base closures in a decade and an intense struggle to save facilities viewed as the economic lifeblood of local communities.
Rumsfeld's proposal calls for a net loss of 26,187 military and civilian jobs, including personnel who would be moved home from overseas.
