Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. statement, July 13, 1995

NEWS FROM Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. Second Congressional District of Maryland 1407 York Road, Suite 304 Lutherville, Maryland 2 1 093 315 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Richard Cross July 13, 1995 202-225-3061 STATEMENT BY CONGRESSMAN ROBERT L. EHRLICH REGARDING PRESIDENT CLINTON’S DECISION TO UPHOLD BRAC RECOMMENDATIONS As I have stated many times in the past, I am saddened and disappointed by the Base Realignment and Closure Commission’s decision to uphold the Department of Defense’s recommendation to close the U. S. Army Publications Distribution Center in Middle River. This facility deserves to remain open based on merit alone. Though he initially wavered, I was pleased President Clinton ultimately chose to keep presidential politics out of BRAC. Had he done this, it would have cheapened both the process as well as the sense of loss experienced by the many other families and communities displaced by this process. -30-
