Senate approves bill to close bases
The Senate approved 82 to 7 a bill to shut unneeded military bases, a move the Pentagon says could save 2 to 5 billion dollars yearly. A 12 member commission would report by December 31 on bases to close, with Defense Secretary Carlucci then approving or rejecting the list. Congress would have until mid April to block or allow the plan, which could be vetoed, as jobs concerns loom.
