Fewer U.S. bases eyed for closure than thought
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said surplus and vulnerable base capacity is less than the Clinton era estimate of 20 to 25 percent, with actual reductions influenced by relocating tens of thousands of troops from abroad to U.S. bases. The Pentagon will submit its closure list in May.

Border Agents Boosted as Minuteman Protests Stirr Action
The Homeland Security Department will assign over 500 additional patrol agents to the Arizona border to curb illegal immigration and deter terrorism. About 155 agents start in Arizona immediately, with 370 more trainees assigned permanently and 200 temporary staff during peak season. The move comes ahead of civilian Minuteman Project patrols and follows prior proposals and intelligence concerns about border security.
