Schenck Pushes ARDC Return to Dayton Alive in Bill
Rep. Paul Schenck of Dayton backs an amendment to the defense appropriations bill to allow a transfer of the Air Research and Development Command back to Dayton from Baltimore. The amendment directs that such a move be considered by the Armed Forces Committee, opposing the current allocation that blocks moving major facilities without committee justification. The ARDC was moved from Dayton to Baltimore years ago, but supporters say Dayton and Wright-Patterson Field would improve efficiency and national interest.
