Changes to Previously Approved
Commission Recommendations
Once approved by the President and Congress, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commissions (DBCRC) recommendations have the force of law. Changes to any of the preceding Commission recommendations can only be accomplished by a subsequent Commission action, or by a direct Act of Congress. During the 1991 round, there were nine approved changes to previous recommendations. By the 1993 round, however, 15 redirects were approved by the Commission. On February 28, 1995, the Secretary proposed 27 changes to previously approved Commission recommendations. The 1995 Commission approved 27 redirects, with several modifications in gaining installations. This appendix summarizes all changes, or redirects, of prior Commission recommendations.
