      By Mr. DOMENICI (for himself and Mr. Bingaman):
  S. 750. A bill to authorize to be appropriated $1,800,000 for fiscal 
year 2008 to acquire real property and carry out a military 
construction project at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico; to the 
Committee on Armed Services.
  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I rise today with Senator Bingaman to 
introduce legislation authorizing new construction at Kirtland Air 
Force Base, NM.
  Kirtland Air Force Base serves many roles for the Department of 
Defense and the U.S. Air Force. The Nuclear Weapons Center, Air Force 
Research Laboratories, the New Mexico Air National Guard, and a 
Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration national 
laboratory are some of the many Federal entities doing work at 
Kirtland. As such, Kirtland's construction needs are many.
  Therefore, I am proud to offer this bill to authorize replacement of 
a fuel unloading facility at Kirtland Air Force Base. The President's 
fiscal year 2008 budget requests $1.8 million for this work, and in 
keeping with that request my legislation authorizes $1.8 million for 
the work.
  Our Armed Forces deserve our full support. I am proud to offer my 
support for the personnel at Kirtland Air Force Base by introducing 
this bill.
  I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the 
Record.
  There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be 
printed in the Record, as follows:

                                 S. 750

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     to be appropriated for fiscal year 2008 for military
