Texas wants military bases safe from closure
Texas wants military bases safe from closure - The Daily Texan - Top Stories: "Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams began a statewide tour of military facilities Wednesday in an effort to preserve them from potential closure.
The Pentagon released its recommendations last month for base closures and reorganization which Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said will save $49 million and streamline the military for the modern era.
Texas military installations received mixed news. While the state as a whole will have a net gain if the recommendations are followed, three major military bases are scheduled to close - Naval Station Ingleside near Corpus Christi, Red River Army Depot outside of Texarkana and Brooks City Base in San Antonio.
