Carson is nervous over BRAC. Ft. Carson would be a likely target as the Army downsizes from 12 to 10 divisions. They have hired the Jefferson Group, a Washington consultant group (and not the most reputable). There are rumors going around the area that you are trying to sacrifice Ft. Carson in order to preserve Ft. Riley. I have told press out there that you support maintaining 12 divisions and keeping all the maneuver posts. It seems to me that at this point we are all in this together. The Ft. Carson issue is nearly as big a topic as Ft. Riley is in Kansas. BRAC TALKING POINTS I AM MONITORING THIS ISSUE VERY CLOSELY. NO DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE AND NONE ARE EXPECTED UNTIL LATE THIS YEAR. THE LIST DOES NOT GO TO THE COMMISSION UNTIL MARCH OF NEXT YEAR. I AGREE WITH GENERAL SULLIVAN ONCE YOU LOSE THE TRAINING LAND, YOU NEVER GET IT BACK. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO MAKE MISTAKES LIKE THAT. THE DOWNSIZING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR SECURITY NEEDS. THIS IS SIMPLY A BUDGET DRILL. CLINTON IS TRYING TO PAY FOR HIS SOCIAL AGENDA BY GUTTING THE DEFENSE BUDGET. KEEPING POSTS LIKE FT. RILEY AND FT. CARSON ARE ESPECIALLY CRITICAL IF YOU CONSIDER THAT THERE MIGHT BE FURTHER U.S. TROOP REDUCTIONS IN EUROPE IN THE FUTURE. WE WOULD NEED A PLACE TO PUT THESE FORCES OR BE LEFT WITH ADDITION TROOP CUTS THAT NO ONE INTENDED.

RANGELAND REFORM PLAN - Brown has criticized the administration grazing and water policy as a plan that could threaten Colorado's water resource and does not provide incentives to conserve. Brown strongly disagrees with the administration on the fee and water rights provisions of the rangeland reform plan. CLEAN WATER ACT - Sen. Brown has several concerns with the Senate bill, in particular over state water rights authority. He feels EPA retains the final say on the majority of the state's actions and feels states need more flexibility to act. Supports private property rights elements, but wants to include compensation for losses.
