Military Bases
Author: United States. General Accounting Office
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Military base closures
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
By September 1998, the Defense Department (DOD) had completed actions on about 85 percent of the 451 recommendations made by the four base realignment and closure commissions. DOD declared about 464,000 acres of base property as excess. Forty-six percent of the unneeded property was to be kept by the federal government; 33 percent was slated for nonfederal users, such as state and local authorities or private parties; and the disposition of the rest was undecided. By 2001, DOD estimates that it will have spent $23 billion on base realignments and closures and saved $37 billion, for a net savings of $14 billion. Beyond 2001, when the last of the four rounds of base closures and realignments is complete, DOD expects to save $5.7 billion annually. However, the cost estimates omit some federally incurred costs, while the savings estimates have not been routinely updated and are thus imprecise. A major cost factor in base realignments and closures, as well as a major obstacle to the disposal of unneeded property, is the need for environmental cleanup at these bases. Available military data suggest that the total environmental cost will top $9 billion; the cleanup efforts, including monitoring, will extend well beyond 2001; and the potential for higher costs exists. Most communities adjoining closed bases are faring well economically in relation to the national average.

Arresting Images
Author: Steven C. Dubin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135214603
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
Although contemporary art may sometimes shock us, more alarming are recent attempts to regulate its display. Drawing upon extensive interviews, a broad sampling of media accounts, legal documents and his own observations of important events, sociologist Steven Dubin surveys the recent trend in censorship of the visual arts, photography and film, as well as artistic upstarts such as video and performance art. He examines the dual meaning of arresting images--both the nature of art work which disarms its viewers and the social reaction to it. Arresting Images examines the battles which erupt when artists address such controversial issues as racial polarization, AIDS, gay-bashing and sexual inequality in their work.

It Takes One to Tango
Author: Edward L. Rowny
Publisher: Potomac Books
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Ambassador Ed Rowny holds a unique position in American history as a key arms control advisor and negotiator for presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and Bush. No other policy-maker has ever negotiated for and counseled five presidents and their cabinets. Ambassador Rowny's revealing memoirs contain startling and sometimes amusing anecdotes about Henry Kissinger, Jim Baker, Amy Carter, drunken Soviet negotiators, Ronald Reagan, Leonid Brezhnev, Mikhail Gorbachev, and many other U.S. and world figures. It Takes One to Tango highlights what took place behind closed doors and is highly critical of George Bush's presidency. By the man who helped negotiate and then sink SALT II, this outspoken account of events at the highest government levels is a wry inside look at five U.S. administrations and a barbed commentary on the major players in the foreign policy and national security arenas. This is the book that tells you what it's like to sit at the conference table with presidents, how Brezhnev and Gorbachev behaved, what Ronald Reagan said about Raisa Gorbachev - and which emperors had no clothes. Ambassador Rowny provides an unprecedented look at world leaders, the Washington elite, and negotiating about life and death.
