nied it had weapons of mass de-
struction or programs to develop
them.

BASES

these bases,” said Task Force
Chairman Rep. David
Braddock. D-Altus.
The state is facing a $592
million revenue shortfall for
Fiscal Year 2004, meaning most
agency budgets will likely he
slashed by double digit percent-
ages.
Oklahoma is home to three
Air Force facilities: Tinker AFB
and the Oklahoma City Air
Logistics Center near Midwest
City; Vance AFB in Enid; and
Altus AFB in Altus. The state
also has Army facilities in Fort
Sill in Lawton and the
McAlestei Army Ammunition
Plant in Savanna.
Tinker is also home to the
Navy's Strategic
Communications Wing One.
Marine Corps artillery training
is conducted at Fort Sill and one
third of the USMC's pilots are
trained at Vance.
The economic impact of the
five military installations is esti-
mated at as much as $8 billion.
The annual payroll of the five
bases totals nearly $4 billion.
That's a lot to protect and
Braddock predicted it "w ill be a
dogfight" w hen Congress con-
venes a new Base Realignment
and Closure Commission to fur-
ther downside the U.S. military
in 2005.
Oklahoma is one of just sev -
en states that hasn't suffered a
major base closure in the first
three BRAC rounds in 1991.
1995 and 1995
“Sometimes we feel like we
have a target on our back.’
Braddock said.
The next round of BRAC
hearings will be held in 2005.
but the cut off date by which
stales and communities have to
have support mechanisms in
place is “mid 04. Braddock
said.
“We've got an 18-month win-
dow." he said. "We've got a lot
to do in the next 18 months."
The task force’s eight recom-
mendations include:
|. Establishing an Oklahoma
Strategic Military Planning
Commission.
2. Creating an Office of
Defense Affairs within the
Oklahoma Department of
Commerce.
3. Creating a military liaison
in the governor's office to coor-
dinate the community efforts.
4. Mandating that the new
Office of Defense Affairs or the
Oklahoma Department of
Commerce complete a study on
the current economic impact of
the military in Oklahoma.
5. Requiring the Oklahoma
Department of Transportation to
review all transportation proj-
ects affecting military installa-
tions and. where possible accel-
erate funding for the projects.
6. Requiring the Oklahoma
State Board of Education and
local school hoards to resolved
problems in policy with transfer
of academic credit, differing
course compatibilities and satis-
faction of high school gradua-
tion requirements in order to fa-
cilitate military family
transitions.
7. Ensuring that each of the
five local school districts w ith a
military installation enter into a
memorandum of agreement
w ith the military - incorporat-
ing a representative of the mili-
tary as an ex-officio, non-voting
member of the local school
board.
8. Sponsoring a third-party
assessment of the Oklahoma
military installations to deter-
mine the state's strengths and
weaknesses.
Braddock said many of the
recommendations will require
legislation and that he and other
representatives and senators
from the affected communities
would be authoring those hills.
GovernoT-elecl Brad Henry
said Wednesday he has not yet
read the report but offered his
support to protecting the bases.
“Like all Oklahomans. I am
very concerned about the future
of our military installations.
Because they generate billions
of dollars and prov ide thousands
of jobs, the bases are a critical
component of the state econo-
my," Henry said. "We can’t al-
ford to lose any of the installa-
tions and we won't if I have
anything to say about it. I heir
survival will he a lop priority of
my administration."
Braddock said the bases are
key components of Oklahoma's
economy and said BR AC can he
about more than just protecting
the status quo. He said it can be
an instrument for economic de-
velopment.
"It's all about jobs,”
Braddock said. "It's about pro-
tecting jobs and providing new
jobs.
"There's bad news and good
news about BRAC' The good
news is if you survive, you’re
probably going to grow. But
you've got to survive first.”

DEAR AHBY: I'm writing
regarding the letter trom
"Totally in Love" about his rela-
tionship with a 13-year-old girl.
You advised him that if “things
went loo far." he could find him-
self in legal trouble. That's an
understatement.
I am a probation officer. Last
Friday. 1 sat in court while a
client of mine was sentenced to
three years (the l«iw end ot the
guidelines) for having consen-
sual sex w ith a 13-year-old. The
girl had told him she w as 15 and
said so in court. Once released
from the penitentiary, he will
have to register as a sex offend-
er for the rest of his life.
That 18-year-old needs to
watch himself. He also needs to
ask himself why he can’t date
girls* his own age. Here in
Virginia, if an 18-year-old has
sex with a 13-year-old, he’s a
sex offender — whether or not
Dear , •
abby |b8a
the girl was willing. — CON-
CERNED IN MANASSAS
DEAR CONCERNED: I
hope "Totally in Love" sees
your letter. Its message is sober-
ing. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: Your advice
to "Totally in Love" was great,
hut you left something out. I'm
19. and don't profess to know
everything, hut someone needs
to explain to him about how 13-
ycar-olds’ think. At that age,
none of us had any idea what
love was. Puberty struck most
of us full-force and our hor-
mones were going nuts — way

too early lo make lifelong com-
mitments. especially to an 18-
year-old guy.
The girl’s mind is going to
change so much as she grow s up
and finds out who she is and
what she wants. She may not
like him anymore when she gets
a little older, and if she says il
won't change, she’s lying to
herself and to him.
Abby. that guy needs not on-
ly to come clean about his age
to her mother, hut also not
dream too far ahead in the fu-
ture. He should wail until she
grows up before litelong com-
mitments come into the picture.
— A WOMAN WHO RE-
MEMBERS THAT AGE
DEAR REMEMBERS: It's
unfortunate that 13-year-old girl
doesn't have a sister like you.
You have given sage advice.
DEAR ABBY: While I agree
with your advice to "Totally in
Love." I feel there is a bit more
to say. From personal experi-
ence. I have found that if young
people (such as his 13-year-old
girlfriend) have an "exclusive"
relationship, what happens is
that she is excluded from the
normal passages of youth. I can-
not see how what people feel at
13 could possibly be what they
want at IK, 21. etc.
And if the relationship does
"go too far," then what .’ Two
children with a child'.’ That
young girl may well regret and
resent the exclusiveness of the
relationship she had when she
was young.
I hope the parents of BOTH
these young people help them to
see that it's better to allow each
other time to grow up before
they try to be grown-ups. If
they're truly meant to be togeth-
er. no amount of time will
change their feelings for each
other, and eventually they’ll he
able to share life experiences
they'll never have in the rela-
tionship they have now. I wish
them the best. — AN EXPERI-
ENCED OLDER PERSON
DEAR EXPERIENCED:
You have a wise and compas-
sionate perspective. Several
readers also pointed out that the
age difference between this
young man and the girl is so
great that it is not a relationship
of equals. Few girls that age can
say no to someone that much
older and more experienced.

CARACAS. Venezuela (AP)
— President Hugo Chavez
branded protesting oil workers
as traitors sabotaging
Venezuela's oil-based economy
and issued a decree to end food
and gas shortages caused by a
general strike.
"We must always be alert,
ready to defend our revolution,”
Chavez told thousands of sup-
porters late Wednesday at a
Caracas arena. He said the strik-
ers "have aligned themselves
with treason," and he vowed to
remain in power as long as
Venezuelans want him there.
Chavez, who commandeered
some private truck fleets Dec. 8
to deliver gas, expanded on that
order with a decree allowing
civilian and military officials to
temporarily seize any vehicle
that delivers gas, oil or food to
end strike-caused shortages.
