In Tight Fiscal Environment, Panetta Backs DOD Cleanup Investments

摘要

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta earlier this month told a group representing communities around Defense Department (DOD) and BRAC sites that investing in cleanups of military bases is important even in the current tight budget environment.rn"Even in this fiscal environment, we must continue to invest in our relationships with these cities and towns to support our military," he told the Association of Defense Communities (ADC) Aug. 6, according to a DOD transcript.
