From the Arizona Air National Guard Headquarters Flyer:
According to a knowledgeable official who spoke to FEDweek's sister publication Armed Forces News on grounds of anonymity, as of mid-December the following bases were being considered under the Base Realignment and Closure round of 2005:
AIR FORCE -- Altus AFB, Oklahoma; Beale AFB, California; Brooks AFB, Texas; Cannon AFB, New Mexico; Columbus AFB, Mississippi; Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota; Goodfellow AFB, Texas; Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota; Hanscom AFB, Massachusetts; Kirtland AFB, New Mexico; Los Angeles AFB, California; McConnell AFB, Kansas; Nellis AFB, Nevada (to realign); Seymour Johnson AFB (to realign), North Carolina; Shaw AFB, South Carolina; and Vance AFB, Oklahoma.
This is back in December before Thune was a Senator and Daschle was still in office. The lefty blogs all claim that Daschle had the clout to keep the base off the closure list, but it was on the list in December. Either Daschle didn't have the clout or he just didn't bother trying.
