Base Realignment and Closure Commission

Arlington, VA 22202
Dear Chairman Principi and BRAC Commissioners:
I am concerned by the DOD's recommendation to dose the Niagara
Falls Air Force Reserve and Guard base. This recommendation is not
in the nation's best interest and the BRAC Commission should
reverse this decision and remove them from the closure list.
It is hard to understand why the Air Force has decided to take
planes, missions and jobs away from so many Air Guard and Air
Reserve bases and put them on the more costly Active Duty bases.
As the only remaining major military installation in Western New
York, Niagara Falls has been hey to military recruitment The
impact of this decision will be devastating to the New York Air
National Guard and will make the Pentagon's efforts to recruit and
retain military personnel even more difficult than it is now.
All New Yorers stand with the Niagara Falls/Western New Vorh
community and are united in its support for this base, and its
retention. Please, overturn the Pentagon's recommendation and
heep the base open.
Sincere,
(A' con e
