McNamara Boots 80 Bases in Largest Postwar Cleanup
Secretary McNamara announced the shutdown of 80 bases in the United States and abroad, including two naval shipyards and 15 overseas facilities. He said the move would trim the defense budget by about 177 million dollars annually and reduce payroll by 68,401 without harming military effectiveness. California led with 19 bases affected, followed by New York, Texas, and Washington. The plan includes retraining and relocation aid for workers, with most actions to be completed by mid 1966.
