69COMMISSIONER BYRON: Even
though they have air space encroachment
problems?
LTC RICHARDELLA: Yes, ma'am.
I don't believe the encroachment that exists
there would be prohibitive to the training of
that particular pipeline's pilots.
COMMISSIONER BOAN: What do
they fly for maritime training?
LTC RICHARDELLA: T-4 two
engine prop.
MR. YELLIN: One of the things
that we will have to do, if additionaL bases
are added, is we will do a very in-depth Look
with increase to the Navy and aLL that about
what's required to move.
If part of the proposal is to
move the primary training from Corpus to
Whiting, we will be Looking in a Lot more
detail about what may or may not be required.
But just from looking at the capacity
information right now and the amount of excess
that has been presented to us through the
certified data call from Whiting field, our
initial feeling is that it appears that they
have the capacity. And then we'll have to
look at other areas and get input from the
Navy, also, on that option.
GEM JOHNSON: Mr. Chairmen, I
believe we need to keep under consideration
the two strike bases and Look at either Corpus
or Whiting, probably Corpus, for a potential
add to our List.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Do I hear a
motion with respect to Corpus?
GEM JOHNSON: Mr. Chairman, I
move that the Commission consider NAS Corpus
Christi and the Naval Hospital at Corpus
Christi, Texas, as proposed additions to the
Secretary's list of military installations
reco needed for closure or realignent.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Do I hear a
second?
COMMISSIONER STUART: I'll
second it.
CHAIRMAN CGJRTER: We' l l have
any discussion. The motion has been made and
seconded. Any discussion on the motion?
COMMISSIONER BYRON: Let m
ask one quick question, and that is, you had
the hospital at Corpus incorporated. Are
there other facilities in the Corpus Christi
area that would use the hospital if the air
station left?
MR. YELLIN: We think there
may be, but we did not do that check before
today. But that wilt be, certainly, a pert of
our analysis when we present you the
information.
COMISSIONER BYRON: I just
wanted to get an idea of whether we should
split the two. But we'll just pt them here
for an opportunity to take a look, and if --
MR. YELLIN: Every hospital
wiltt be examined very carefully by the staff
to see whether it truLy is a follower or not.
COMMqISSIONERt BYRON: Have we
received the GAO hospital person that: was
promised to us qsite some time ago yet on the51
staff? Do you know, Mr. Behrmrn?
MR. BORDEN: I talked to the
GAO hospital person yesterday at Length and
questioned him about numbers, CHAMPUS costs,
the cost of keeping hospitals open when
installations close. And apparently there are
some old studies. There's not any new
information. Certainly to be --
COMMISSIONER BYRON: It saee
to me at a hearing, we were promised when we
had the GAO brief that they were going to
designate one specific person to the
Commission to took at the numbers of hospitals
and the ruters on CHAMPUS costs.
MR. BEHRMAMN: Mrs. Byron, as
I ran through there yesterday trying to
prepare for today, that was the only question
I asked, "When are you going to come over arid
take" --
COMMISSIONER BYRON: But he
hasn't shorn p yet?
MR. BEHRMANM: Yes. We're
going to explore that further. This
particular individual has a great expertise,
and we would Like to get him. I think there
would be difficulty in getting that specific
person, but we're going to get some help
there, for sure.
COMMISSIONER BYRON: Give me
the rnuter. I'LL make the call.
COMMISSIONER MCPHERSON:
Before we vote on Corpus Christi, Corpus
Christi does primary training and it does this
maritime training. Whiting is the main
primary training base.
MR. YELLIN: That's correct,
sir.
CWISSIONER MCPHERSON: So
Corpus Christi is doing maybe 20 percent of
it, and --
MR. YELLIN: One-third.
COPUISSIONER MCPHERSON: One-
third. And Whiting does the rest.
MR. YELLIM: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER M1CPHERSON:
Pensacola does no primary?
MR. YELLIN: It does primary
training of Naval flight officers, not pilots.
CW1ISSIONER MCPHERSON: Ard
so we're talking about putting on the list
Corpus Christi in order to reduce our excess
capacity in training without hitting the
strike basis.
MR. YELLIM: Yes, sir.
COMISSIONER MCPHERSON: The
'91 Commission ordered Chase Field, was it,
and Beeville, which is nearby, closed?
LTC RICHARO)ELLA: Yes, sir.
COI:ISS IONER MCPHERSON:
(ingsville is the third in the triangle ararnd
Corps Christi?
LTC RIlCMARDELLA: That's
correct. Yes, sir.
MR. YELLlN: For strike
training, Meridian, Kingsville, arid Chase were
the three that do that mission. You're
talking about the bases that are physically in .. .
that area?
COMI4NSSIONER MCPHERSONM: Yes.W
