Missorui Delegation Against Military Base Cuts
Three members of Missouri's
congressional delegation say programs at the state's largest
military bases are too important to cut or move elsewhere.
Federal defense officials have said base closures are needed to
save money. But U.S. representatives Vicky Hartzler, Blaine
Luetkemeyer (LOOT'-keh-my-ur) and Todd Akin, all Republicans, said
Ft. Leonard Wood and Whiteman Air Force Base should be spared from
possible cuts.
Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat who is chairman of
the Senate Armed Forces Committee, has also said she would oppose
base reductions.
Base cuts are handled by a military commission and Congress can
vote on their recommendations.
