BRAC
We should know the fate of the BRAC very soon although it will still be a long process. Today Donald H. Rumsfeld’s recommendations go to the BRAC Commission. The commission will examine the recommendations and make its independent judgment on each. The commission will present its list to President Bush in September. The president may approve or disapprove the list in total. If he approves it, it will go to Congress. Congress has 45 days to disapprove the list. If it does not, the list becomes law.
There is an article about the process on the DOD web site that many of you might find interesting. You can follow this link DOD Article to read it. What I wonder about is the effect that it will have on Bedford. The easy thing to look at would be the loss of income coming from local businesses. What I think might be the largest problem would be the affect to Bedford school system. Bedford gets money from the government for every high school student it takes in from Hanscom AFB. I’d like to know what you think?
