DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE COMMISSION - OPEN MEETING:Friday, May 21, 19939 Griffiss, if it were not to be selected as the East Coast
'0 mobility base, should not be penalized as a bomber base, in
W our estimation. So we calculated a score for Griffiss as a
12 bomber, as well. It scored 143 out of 170.
13 COMMISSIONER COX: Now, I'm confused. Could 1
14 just ask a quick question? I'm sorry.
15 If we looked at this maybe a little bit too easily
16 as the East Coast, which we already resolved, hopefully,
17 with Plattsburgh, and now we looked at an alternative to
18 K.I. Sawyer, at least one, and an alternative to March,
19 would that be getting into all the different categories? We
20 would look at an alternative to K.I. Sawyer and an
21 alternative to March. Would that be an appropriate way to
22 look at it? And all of these are alternatives?Page 731 of 880 Pages
MR. CIRILLO: These are all alternatives to K.I.
Sawyer.
COMMISSIONER COX: So when you say that the lowest
military score, the least good military score was Grand
Forks at 126, that is because, even though 126 is not as low
as 113, that was in a group 3 of 3?
MR. CIRILLO: But these are preliminary scores.
We haven't had an opportunity -- we don't have all the data.
They're very early scores. We haven't had a base visit, so
we can't validate, verify some of this information. They're
preliminary scores, but it does give you a range, and if you
choose one or two bases, this gives you something to look
at.14 COMMISSIONER COX: And maybe our problem is we're
eying to choose one. Maybe I should just ask you, is that
16 not appropriate? Maybe we ought to pick two alternatives to17 K.I. Sawyer. Maybe we're, in our haste to try to get down
18 to --
19 COMMISSIONER STUART: Could I follow up on that?
20 If I could just, again, simplify things. I think the
21 missile issue and the START treaty tend to make it even
22 cloudier, but if we took another base that has a low rating1

to be considered as a companion alternative to K.I. Sawyer,
couldn't we name Fairchild and Washington? It has low score
numbers, as I see it, and it is not a missile facility.
MR. CIRILLO: lhat's correct. It's a preliminary
score. I'll advise you on that.
COMMISSIONER SIUART: Well, this is a preliminary
question, too.
MR. CANTWELL: Chairman Courter, to get back to
your question on some of the differences on Fairchild, while
the numbers are lower, they have encroachment problems at
Fairchild; they do not have a hotpad, as an example of two
problems. Their weather is comparable with K.I. Sawyer's,
very close to K.I. Sawyer's, and a number of other issues
that are just minor.

MR. CANTWELL: Distance to ranges. But those are
three major areas where they scored lower.
CHAIRMAN COURTER: Those are three major reasons
it would not be as highly rated as other bases?
MR. CANTWELL: Yes, sir.
COMMISSIONER STUART: Mr. Chairman, would it bePage 733 of 880 Pages
