Clinton faces tough fight over new base closings plan
Washington AP. The Clinton administration proposes a 1995 round of base closures with at least 15 percent cuts, nearing total reductions seen in 1988, 1991, and 1993. Perry warns of a difficult battle with public and Congress as savings lag behind costs, with job losses concentrated in California, Florida, and South Carolina. Representative Hansen pushes to delay closures two years citing environmental cleanup costs. Senate defeat last year of a delaying amendment is noted.
