Air Force to close Richards-Gebaur Base in Missouri
The Air Force announced the closure of Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base, ending a 14 year battle with local interests. The move will cost 3,789 jobs in the Kansas City area and shift the Communications Service headquarters to Scott Air Force Base in Illinois. About 1,500 military and civilian positions at Richards-Gebaur will be eliminated, with an estimated $19 million annual savings but an area economic impact around $100 million. The plan follows a court ruling denying a temporary halt and aims for partial relocation this summer and fall.

Joint Chiefs Accept Korea Troop Withdrawal Decision
The Joint Chiefs of Staff accepted President Carter's plan to withdraw all U.S. ground troops from South Korea without objecting and were asked only to propose alternative withdrawal plans. Gen. George Brown helped relay chiefs' views in NSC discussions, while a two man U.S. delegation arrived in Seoul for talks. Defense Secretary Brown noted the chiefs support maintaining air and naval power and speeding up South Korea's equipment and training, despite Army opposition to reducing the ground presence.
