URGING THE 1991 DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT COMMISSION TO VISIT THE MYRTLE BEACH AIR FORCE BASE TO DETERMINE THE FACTS FOR THEMSELVES AND COMMENDING THE EFFORTS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA COMMITTEE ON MYRTLE BEACH AIR FORCE BASE FOR THEIR TIRELESS RESEARCH AND GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS OF TIME AND MANPOWER TOWARD THIS IMPORTANT STUDY.
Whereas, the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base has played an integral role in the military defense of our nation; and
Whereas, the base is an ideal location for three A-10 squadrons; and
Whereas, cost of closure as outlined by the recent Air Force criteria evaluation of TAC bases appears to be incomplete. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, urge the 1991 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission to visit the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base to determine the facts for themselves.
Be it further resolved that we commend the efforts of the South Carolina Committee on Myrtle Beach Air Force Base for their tireless research and generous contributions of time and manpower toward this important study.
