Recommendations (Testimony, 02/23/95, GAO/T-NSIAD-95-107).

This testimony provides an overview of GAO's work on the Defense
Department's (DOD) base realignment and closure process.  GAO (1)
provides a brief historical account of the realignment and closure
process, including GAO's role in the process; (2) summarizes some of the
conclusions GAO has drawn in assessing DOD's decision-making process
before base closing and realignment rounds and identifies improvements
that DOD and its components have made to the process; (3) discusses the
results of GAO's work on previous base closures, including planned reuse
and environmental cleanup of these facilities; and (4) makes some
preliminary observations about closure and realignment issues that may
extend beyond the life of the current base closure and realignment
legislation.
