DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE COMMISSION - OPEN MEETING:Friday, May 21, 1993
I theory, close Grand Forks.
2 MR. CIRILLO: You won't close Grand Forks or
Minot, if you buy that theory, or Malmstrom.
4 COMMISSIONER COX: So if we buy that theory, at
5 least, we can get rid of those three bases, for now.
6 MR. CIRILLO: That's a correct statement.
7 COMMISSIONER MCPHERSON: I am, for one, thoroughly
8 confused. I feel as if I'm watching a Marx Brothers movie.
9 And it's not your fault, Frank, at all. It's the complexity
10 of categorizing these.
11 Mr. Chairman, I just want to express a personal
12 view that we have got an awful lot of work to do already and
13 that, if it is possible for us to put on the list of bases
14 to be seen, to be considered, only those that really are at
15 the bottom of the heap in these categories in their ratings
16 and leave off those that are unlikely candidates for closure
W or realignment, I would certainly recommend that we do that,
18 because I haven't been keeping score of how many bases,
19 forts, camps, and whatever we're going to have to see
20 between now and the end of June, but it's a lot, already.
21 And if we could reduce the number, instead of
22 throwing up our hands and saying, "Well, let's just go see
Page 726 of 880 Pages
1 them all, because we don't know," it would be a big help to
2 this coninissioner, anyway.
3 COMMISSIONER STUART: I follow that thought with
4 asking General Johnson, who can see through these categories
5 probably better than most of us who lack the experience, if
6 we were to add one or two bases for consideration, General
ohnson, which ones would those be, in your opinion?
8 GEN JOHNSON: If you're going to look at a missile9

22base, there are three bases up there you can look at. And
we have to make a decision if we want to look at START or
not. And the three are Minot, Grand Forks, and Malmstrom as
an alternative to K.I. Sawyer, if we want to pick one.
COMMISSIONER STUART: Do you think it is logical
to so do?CHAIRMAN COURiER: Before he answers that
question, let me ask you this question: If you examine
Minot, Grand Forks, and Malmstrom, all of which were,
basically, taken off the hit list by the Pentagon because of
the pending ratification of START II -- there is differences
of opinion whether that was wise or not. And I think
there's a number of people that really do want to look at a
potential alternative to K.I. Sawyer.Page 727 of 880 Pages
1 So the question is, between Minot, Grand Forks,
2 and Malmstrom, which cf those three is the most likely one,
3 which is the one with the lowest military value, or
4 otherwise would be a likely candidate to replace K.I.
5 Sawyer?
6 MR. CIRILLO: OF those three missile fields,
7 Malmstrom has 200 holes.
8 CHAIRMAN COURTER: Two hundred?
9 MR. CIRILLO: Two hundred ICBM holes, as does
10 Francis E. Warren. Under the current force structure, if
11 you keep that one, then you can get by with closing one of
12 the other two even after START gets signed. If you close
13 Malmstrom, you've lost some flexibility.
14 CHAIRMAN COURTER: I'm not sure whether I
15 understood what you said.
16 COMMISSIONER BYRON: He said Malmstrom would be atDiversified Reporting Services, Inc. - (202) 296-29?9
