MEMORANDUM TO: JACK MARSH

FROM: RUSS ROURKE

I discussed the Ft. Dix situation with Rep. Ed Forsythe again. As you may know, I reviewed the matter with Marty Hoffman at noon yesterday, and with Col. Kenneth Bailey several days ago.

Actually, I exchanged intelligence information with him. Hoffman and Bailey advised me that no firm decision has as yet been made with regard to the retention of the training function at Dix. On Novem­ ber 5, Marty Hotfman will receive a briefing by Army staff on pos­ sible "back fill'' organizations that may be available to go to Dix in the event the training function moves out.

Through the assistance of Bob McEwen the funding that would have permitted the establishment of this operation at Benning was denied in Committee and by the House itself. There is still a possibility that the funding might be reinserted .in the Senate. Forsythe is monitoring this situation on a constant basis through Cliff Case. At this point, the matter is really in a holding pattern. Forsythe appreciated our continuing efforts and indicated that he would be back with us in the event a further ''assist" was needed. cc: MFriedersdor£ VLoen No. 550-74 OXford 5-0192 (Info.)

OF DEFENSE JAMES R. SCHLESINGER ANNOUNCES 111 ACTIONS AFFECTING MILITARY INSTALLATIONS

Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger today announced that he has approved 111 base realignment actions recommended by the Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Air Force, and Director, Defense Supply Agency. These actions are part of the continuing Defense effort to divert resources from support and overhead activities to combat capability and to realign Defense activities in line with today's lower force levels.

The realignment actions approved will eliminate headquarters and other positions involving approximately 11,500 military and 11,600 civilian billets. The military personnel concerned will be assigned to combat and combat support activities. Once these actions are completed by 1977, it is estimated that DoD support costs will be reduced by over $3.3 billion in the subsequent decade, which will make it possible to provide that much more combat capability and effectivenss over the period.

A review of our overseas support structure is nearing completion. Decisions on these actions will not be announced pending completion of a Defense/State review and consultations with the host countries involved.

Under the Department of Defense Program for Stability of Civilian Employment, every effort will be made to assist displaced civilian employees in obtaining other acceptable employment. Transportation and moving expenses will be paid for career employees who will be relocated to other Defense activities. Eligible career employees desiring place­ ment assistance will be registered in the Department of Defense Priority Placement Program and the Civil Service Commision's Displaced Employees Program for referral and consideration in other vacancies within the Department of Defense and by other federal departments and agencies.

Close liaison will also be maintained by the Department of Defense civilian personnel offices with the Department of Labor, state employment offices and private industry to help employees desiring placement assis­ tance or retraining for positions in the private sector. Most career employees who do not elect to take other federal positions will be eligible for severance pay up to one year, based upon age and length of federal service, or for immediate retirement under one of the voluntCY :.; or involuntary options. · · .... (MORE) 2

The President's Economic Adjustment Committee will bring the resources of the federal government to bear on alleviating problems of personnel and communities resulting from these realignments. The Secretary of Defense chairs this inter-agency committee made up of 17 federal departments and agencies.

The Committee works with state and local governments and the private sector to create new private sector jobs to replace the Defense jobs that will be eliminated.

The following is a summary of the principal actions to be taken by the two Military Departments and the Defense Supply Agency in the United States and Puerto Rico.

The President The 1\11i te House \'(ashington, D.C.

Dear l'>!r. President:

This is in regard to plans being developed by the Department of Defense to make certain changes and realignments to the military base stn1eture of the United States.

I have previously brought my concen1s 1-1ith regard to one :instaliation involved in this proposal to the attention of the Deputy Secretary of Defense, as shown in the attached.

I In a b1 cader context it my vie1v that the imposition of further l!:i'~e r.onso] id2tions <1.nd clo:-vrcs following the extensive realigmnents effectcd in 1 2 l·.,.,uJd be i 11 ndvised. I Tecog11ize the puTpose and neri t of the 1,udgetary C•Jnstraints you have imposed on all of tl1e JL:par1 :nents for the ~.:omi ng seal year. Hm;;ever, I am extremely concerned that in striving to ;'cccnnochte its portion. of these reductions, the DOD may taJ.:e steps in the inten~sts of near-tenn economies 'dhich Hould nm counter to the r:ceds for stability and long­ term efficiency in the defense establi::lnncnt. Tn this ·regard, it is my belief that continued shrinkage in our bc1se stnH~ture of any consideTable degree 1vou1d severely restrict the flf'xibili ty needed by our armed forces in t:iJne of crisis, and I urge the reconsideration of any plans to implement ~uch changes. Sincerely,--- c !J'W\_ ~t5Lil·'f-·· . ohn To,;er JGf:wbe Enclosure J

Honorable William P. Clements, Jr. Deputy Secretary of Defense Pentagon Washington, D.C. 20301

Dear Bill:

This is in regard to recent reports of plans under discussion v;ithin the D·2partment of Dafense ,;ffcct1ng Naval Air Station, Cc·rpus Christi, Texas, as \vell as NAS KingsvilJe and Chase Field in Beeville, Texas.

\Vhilc I h~we been advised that DOD has not given fincJ approval to any pl·oposals concerning these f<1ciliti.::s. I understc~nd th2t budgetary <::nd m;:,npower constr<.dnts v,,hich hcve be.::m tc_'nU;tivGly est0blisbed for the coming fisc0l year would cause the Nsvy to give considen>tion to cr::rV':1n actions.

The O)rpus Christi complex comprises the only rnc::jor N'c.vy lnstall;::,tion in the stale of Texas and servNavy's aviation tr&ining cornm<:md, many of which are now located at Pensacola, Florida.

As you know, the matter of training consolidation, particularly in avktion, is one of significant interest to the Congress, notf!bly the Sen0te CommittGe on Armed Se1·vices. The potential savings to be realized from joint training endeavors have been studied both within the individual services and by the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower end Reserve Affairs) and have been addressed before several Congressional Cornmittees. I would exp~ct that such discussions 'will recsive greater c:nphasis in the review of the forthcoming Defense budget in a cooper<:ltive effort between Congress end the Department to plan for and attain desirable t>conomies in training costs.

.· IJc·n.orcblt: \'Vi_llic~m P. Clcr:-J(~nts, Jr. Pe:ge Two

January 5 1 1975

Then~fore, it vmuld Ci.ppear rtcsonc:ble for DOD to hc::ve the Services to vv-ithhcld ccting on indepsndent training consolidations until such time as th2se plans can be reviewed in the context of a long-term, inter-s·::rvke I trc.ining consolidation pl.:m. It is conceivable to me th:Jtl for sx<~mple, c. concentrotion of virtu2clly all 1-Javy aviation training esctivities ut a single lcx.:::.tion might Very v:oll cloud future discussions of aviation training consolidations by limiting the flexibility and range of options available to the Department.

\Vith this thought in mind 1 I would ask that any Navy plans for closing £acUities in the Corpus Christi area or reloc;::ting the Chief of Navd Air Tr.:J.ining be hc:ld in abeyance pending the determination and Congressional review of r::.OD plans for future aviation training consoljdations. It \'>'OUJd be unforturv:;te vvere opportunities s;:icriiiced for long-term impn.)Vt:rt~ents in the: shOl-t-sighted pursuit of lin::lted 1 near-term savings.

Sincersly yours,
