DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT COMMISSION


Notice of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission 
(Washington, DC)

AGENCY: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission.

ACTION: Notice: Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission--Open 
Meeting (Washington, DC).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a delegation of the Commissioners 
of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission will hold an 
open meeting on July 7, 2005 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. in the Ronald 
Reagan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20004. 
The delay of this notice resulted from the short time-frame established 
by statute for the operations of the Defense Base Closure and 
Realignment Commission and the need to coordinate the schedules of the 
various Federal, state and local officials whose participation was 
judged essential to a meaningful public discussion. The Commission 
requests that the public consult the Defense Base Closure and 
Realignment Commission Web site, http://www.brac.gov, for updates. The 
delegation will meet to receive comment from Federal, state and local 
government representatives and the general public on base realignment 
and closure actions in the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, and 
Virginia that have been recommended by the Department of Defense (DoD). 
The purpose of this regional hearing is to allow communities 
experiencing a base closure or major realignment action (defined as 
loss of 300 civilian positions or 400 military and civilian positions) 
an opportunity to voice their concerns, counter-arguments, and opinions 
in live public forum. This meeting will be open to the public, subject 
to the availability of space. The delegation will not render decisions 
regarding the DoD recommendations at this meeting, but will gather 
information for later deliberations by the Commission as a whole.

DATES: July 7, 2005 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.

ADDRESSES: Ronald Reagan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please see the Defense Base Closure 
and Realignment Commission Web site, http://www.brac.gov. The 
Commission invites the public to provide direct comment by sending an 
electronic message through the portal provided on the Commission's
