                        Wednesday, May 25, 2005

  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, when the Military Quality of Life 
Appropriations bill comes to the floor, I intend to offer two 
amendments to increase funding for the Base Realignment and Closure 
1990 Account. One, at $351 million, would provide the funding to 
complete all environmental remediation on bases closed during the 1988 
BRAC round. The second, at $55 million, would provide the funding 
necessary to complete all unexploded ordnance cleanup on bases closed 
during the 1988 BRAC round. The offset for these increases come from a 
corresponding decrease in the Base Realignment and Closure 2005 
Account.
