SAF/IEB will oversee a series ofMAJCOM directed site surveys for bases affected by BRAC 2005 recommendations. These site surveys are the first step in identifying BRAC 2005 operational, communications and construction requirements for use in future programming actions. Attached is the installation site survey priority list (Atch I).

The analysis phase of the BRAC 2005 effort is coming to a close. It is time to consider implementation guidance and how it affects you. Initial guidance is being prepared to help you during preliminary BRAC implementation planning. The basic preparation for closure or realignment is similar to what bases and MAJCOMs went through during the last four BRAC rounds. Details might differ but the end result will be the same.

Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "Amtrak has provided food and beverage service on its trains since it began operations in 1971. Amtrak has struggled since its inception to earn sufficient revenues and depends heavily on federal subsidies to remain solvent. While a small part of Amtrak's overall expenditures, Amtrak's food and beverage service illustrates concerns in Amtrak's overall cost containment, management and accountability issues. This testimony is based on GAO's work on Amtrak's management and performance as well as additional information gained from Amtrak and other transportation providers. This testimony focuses on (1) the provisions written into Amtrak's contract with Gate Gourmet to control costs, (2) the types of management controls Amtrak exercises to prevent overpayments, and (3) the information Amtrak collects and uses to monitor the service and to report to stakeholders such as its Board of Directors."

In his 22 Oct 03, "Memorandum for Military Department Infrastructure Steering Group Members," Mr. Wynne; Acting Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics; requested each Military Department recommend "those classified ranges that should receive JCSG analysis."

Disregard restriction header and footer -This is the report on our audit of the Cost of Base Realignment Action (COBRA) model. We performed this audit as part of our overall audit of the 2005 Army Basing Study. We will include the results of this audit in a summary report at the end of the study. Our conclusions are positive; thus we are making no recommendations and the report is not subject to the command-reply process that Army Regulation 36-2 prescribes. However, we have incorporated the official Army position on our conclusions in Annex C.

Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "The greatest natural threat posed to the New Orleans area is from hurricane-induced storm surges, waves, and rainfalls. A hurricane surge that can inundate coastal lowlands is the most destructive characteristic of hurricanes and accounts for most of the lives lost from hurricanes. Hurricane surge heights along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts can exceed 20 feet. The effects of Hurricane Katrina flooded a large part of New Orleans and breeched the levees that are part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Lake Pontchartrain, and Vicinity, Louisiana Hurricane Protection Project. This project, first authorized in 1965, was designed to protect the lowlands in the Lake Pontchartrain tidal basin from flooding by hurricane-induced sea surges and rainfall. GAO is providing information on (1) the purpose and history of the Lake Pontchartrain, and Vicinity, Louisiana Hurricane Protection Project and (2) funding of the project. GAO is not making any recommendations in this testimony."
