Weather Service privatization study plans large cuts
A Booz Allen Hamilton study for NOAA proposes automating 269 observation offices, consolidating severe weather centers, and turning many tasks to private firms. Staff would drop from 3,950 to 2,192 by 2000 with payroll cut from 164 million to 104 million. Congresswoman Scheuer questions the plan's ideology and urges close scrutiny before any privatization.
