is, the DOD proposal is to move aircraft to
Cherry Point, in essence, all the F/A-18s.
What's the rap space required to accommodate
that proposal as opposed to closing the two
that the Chairman mentioned?
LTC RICHARDELLA: Ramp space
required for the closure of Cecil and its
movant at Cherry Point to accommoate the
ptanes moving from Cecil is about 330,000
square yards, which Leaves an excess at Cherry
Point.1

69Did I answer your question,
MR. YELLIM: There's no nwapron space required.
GEM JOHNSON: At Cherry Point,
if they move the F/A-18 sp there?
MR. YELLIN: ALthough that is
just Looking at the gross umaters. There are
some potential problems in using some of the
space at Cherry Point.
COMMISSIONER STUART: Let me
remind us again, the practical alternative to
Cecil is considering closing Oceans and
Beaufort?
LTC RICHARDELLA: Either/or.
COMMISSIONER STUART:
Either/or?
LTC RICHARDELLA: Yes, sir.
Both have been proposed.
COMMISSIONER STUART: If you
just closed Oceana, then is there a Lot of
MILCON involved to take care of Cecil?
LTC RICHARDELLA: Yes, sir.
Some amount of MILCON would be involved at
Cecil Field.
COMMISSIONER STUART: And
what's the number if you did Beaufort?
LTC RICHARDELLA: Very smell.
I believe at Cherry Point, if you close
Beaufort --
COM ISSIONER STUART: But
Cherry Point is so key to Marine facilities up
that that that seems unwise.
LTC RICHARDELLA: I don't
believe -- I hope I didn't say that, sir.
COWMISSIONER STUART: I did.
Thank you.
CHAIRMAN COUNTER: One thing
before I ask for votes on the East Coast
facilities I want to make sure we all
understand, not that I won't have to repeat it
again. Com ities obviously have come up
with scenarios in order to save their
facilities, which they think are very, very
important. ALL the motions today, with
respect to competing scenarios and potential
substitute bases, are driven by the
commissioners.
So, therefore, if I'm
approached in the hallway saying, "You mean
all they had to do was mention a facility, and
you would discuss it on the merits and unleash
your staff?" The answer is, "No." There were
Lots of proposals by communities that
commissioners felt did not have the degree of
mrit and were, if not frivolous, didn't have
the degree of merit that goaded a commissioner
to request a conflicts check on it, meaningthat they want to substantively review it
today.
So we have been talking a tot
about, "The community said this, the coamanity
said that." They would not be under active
discussion as an alternative today unless at
Least one commissioner didn't ask that it be
done.
MR. YELLIN: Excuse me.
General Johnson, Commissioner Johnson, Itkns
we haven't answered your question. You wanted
us to give you information on what was needed
to be built at Cherry Point to accept the F/A-
1Ss from Cecil Field?
GEM JOHNSON: At the regional
hearings and elsewhere where we have Looked at
the airfield Layout at Cherry Point, and you
have to Lengthen runways, taxiways, and more
apron space. And the answer he gave was you
didn't need any more. And I had been Led to
believe otherwise. But we can check that
Later.
MR. YELLIN: The proposal does
call for $201 million of construction, so
you're absolutely right that there is a mix of
military construction required, a significant
nuer at Cherry Point, to accept the planes
from Cecil Field.
GEM JOHNSON: Mr. Chairman, [
believe if we're going to look at Naval
aviation on the East Coast, we need to Look at
all the bases, save Cherry Point.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: In order tr
do that, there's two motions that would have
to be made. We want to do it one at a time.
It would be a motion to put Oceana on our
review list, followed by a motion with respect
to Beaufort.
Do I hear a motion with
respect to Oceana?
COISSIONER MCPHERSON: Yes.
GEM JOHNSON: Mr. Chairman, I
move the Commission consider Naval Air Station
Ocean, Virginia, as a proposed addition to
the Secretary's List of military installations
recommended for closure or real igmnent.
CHAIRMAN COJRTER: Do I hear a
second?
CWEL SSlONER STUART: Second.
CHAIRMAN COJRTER: Any further
discussion?
(No response.)
CHAIRMAN CCIJRTER: We'll start
out with Commissioner Bob Stuart.
COMISSIONER STUART: Aye.
COMMISSIONER BYRON: No.
GEM JOHNSON: Aye.
CHAIRMAN CQLJRTER: Aye.
CHI SSIONER MCPHERSON: Aye.
COMMISSIONER CCX: Aye.
CWISSIONER BAN: Aye.
MS. CHtESTON: ()i the mot ion
that the Commission consider NAS Oceana,
Virginia, as a proposed addition to the
Secretary's list of military installations
recamuended for closure or real ignment, the
vote is six in favor, one against; the motion
carries.
COMMSSIONER MCPHERSON: Mr. Wsir?
