FORT ORD CLEANUP S.S.

PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY CONGRESS THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR MORE CLEAN-UP OF THE FORMER FORT ORD. THE FINAL MILITARY CONSTRUCTION BILL WOULD ALSO HELP DESIGNATE FORT HUNTER-LIGGETT AS ?OPEN SPACE?, IN THE EVENT OF THAT BASE BEING CLOSED, AND THE PASSING OF THIS BILL ALSO MEANS THAT NEARLY 7 MILLION DOLLARS WOULD GO TOWARD THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 14-SEAT DENTAL CLINIC, AT THE DEFENSE LANGUAGE INSTITUTE IN MONTEREY. THE CONSTRUCTION BILL HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE HOUSE, AND SENATE, AND IS BEING SENT TO PRESIDENT BUSH FOR SIGNATURE.
