qlV 69Under this proposal, they're going to be
redirected, rather than to scme unknown and
undetermined facility, those facilities in '91
being either Twentynine Palm or Pendleton,
the rac nation this tim is to move the
Tustin planes. And Tustin was slated to be
closed by the '91 Commission and, I believe,
the Marine Corps, as well, into Mirmir.
MR. YELLIN: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Mow,
looking at the other facilities that are on
the left-hand side of chart rimer 14, all the
other ones are stilL open, is that correct,
without any determination of closure?
MR. YELLIM: Excuse me. Which
ones are you talking about?
CHAIRMAN COURTER: I' Looking
at chart rusber 14 to the Left.
MR. YELLIN: Tustin, EL Toro?
CHAIRMAN COURTER: EL Toro.
MR. YELLIN: EL Toro is
proposed for closure by the Defense
Department.around?
CHAIRMAN COURTER: This time
MR. YELLIM: This time around,yes.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: But I'm
saying, it's a tittle bit different category
in the sense that Tustin was voted to be
closed in '91.
MR. YELLIM: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: None of the
others on the Left-hand side of that chart
fall into that category.
MR. YELLIN: Excuse me.
You're absolutely right, sir. That's right.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: So, in
other words, you can add an asterisk next to
Tustin, because that was already voted to be
closed.
MR. YELLIN: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: The fulrt
service recommendation shows removal of those
air assets from Tustin to Niramar. My
recollection, just going back -- and correct
me if I'm wrong, ard rephrase it if it's
awkwardly phrased or it doesn't have the pure
clarity that it should, but the '91 Commission
concurred with the proposal to close Tustin.
The Navy recom t ion in
1991 was to move the air assets from Tustin to
Twentynine Palm at a MILCON cost of $600
million, 5500 to $600 million.
MR. YELLIN: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: It's a big
figure, which is the reason it sticks out in
my mind.
MR. YELLIN: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: The Base
Closing Commission, in 1991, had some concerns
about the cost, and the Commission suggested
one of the ways to pay for it was to have a
legislatively directed land sale of the Tustin
facilities, the money being used for new
construction at either Twentynine Palm or
Pendleton, yet to be determined.
There was no Legislative
sanction allowing that to occur, Congresswanting that rw construction to go through
the MILCON process, the old process, and,
therefore, thai: recommendation of the 1991
Commission Leglislatively is impossible to go
forward.
Now we have a recommendation
that those assets of Tustin -- this is a
recomaendation of DOD -- go to Mlramar. Now,
Miramr, we have examined i t, we have looked
at it, we have thought abot it. We haven't
made any conclusions, but there's a couple of
points that should be raised. One of the
points is the fact that it, as well, requires
significant military construction at a cost
you're going to talk about in just a few
minutes.
Mutber two, there is the
question as to whether it is ideal*- and some
people would say it's absolutely dangerous --
but whether it's ideal to mixed fixed wing and
rotary and have those facilities both at
Mi ramar.
The third question with
respect to Miramar is the fact that it's a
congested area, there's lots of encroachment
in that area; is that correct?
MR. YELLIN: There is.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: It's not
predetermined, but it is. I mean, everybody
knows that Miramar is tucked in there, and the
growth is phenomenal.
MR. YELLIN: Well, I think you
have to look at relative, and we can certainty
talk about that. But there is some
Limitations to that.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: But wt
recollection of the '91 Commission, the
legislative process, is a correct one?
MR. YELLIN: Yes, sir.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: MNow, the
proposal on 15 is one scenario that attempts
to avoid some MILCON costs, I would imagine,
and also come q3 with an additional closure, I
would imagine, and also alleviate the
potential problems at Miramar, at Least in the
commaity's eyes.
MR. YELLIM: Yes. It does
close Naval Air Station Miramar. It
eliminates the concerns that you had about
Mi ramar.of El Toro?
Toro, right.COMISSIONER BiAN: In Lieu
MR. YELLING: In Lieu of ELCHAIRMAN COURTER: But it then
opens El Toro? It Leaves El Toro open?
MR. YELLIN: That's right.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: So it's no
additional closure?
MR. YELLIN: No, it's not an
additional. It's a neutral with respect to --
COIr4I SS IONER BG.MAN:
Everything you said, Mr. Chairman, is correct,
in my mind, anyway, except for the additional
closure, which it does not do.
MR. YELL IN: I t dos not have
the additional closure. It just flips to and
comes out the same. It's an alternative.
