PR: Take what you want and pay for it

SAN JUAN (AP) – A bill meant to postponed (sic) the 2005 deadline for the initiation of The Base Realignment and Closure Program (BRAC) was defeated in the Senate on Tuesday by a vote of 49-47.

In letter sent to the senate by the White House, the Executive Branch expressed their willingness to veto any bill that delays or cancels the Base Realignment and Closure Program, a process that would decide the fate of thousands of military installations in US territories, including Fort Buchanan in Guaynabo.

However, the bill enjoys widespread support in the House of Representatives which it will more than likely approve on Wednesday.
