Using Currently Closed Military Bases as Semi-Permanent Refugee Centers

Here's an idea. Use currently closed military bases that can be used as semi-permanent city for Hurricane Katrina refugees? I think people are already starting to suggest this.

Here's one site that list the "Planned Property Disposals at 23 Bases Closed in the 1993." 1993 was the most recent BRAC closing of military bases.

Check out the "Timeline for 2005 Base Closures"

September 8, 2005: Deadline for the Base Closure Commission to transmit its recommendations to the President. The President has until September 23, 2005, to approve or disapprove the recommendations. If he approves, he transmits them to Congress. The list is binding unless both Houses of Congress pass a joint resolution of disapproval within 45 legislative days.

So, we might have an answer on where to put these refugees over the next 3 to 4 months. How fast can this go for President Bush to enact an emergency measure to use closed military bases, current and future, for Hurricane Katrina refugees?

Using closed military bases for homeless people, click on the link, scroll down and read the "Base Closure Process" and
"Recommendations for Acquiring Property to Serve the Homeless."

In fact, use Walter Reed hospital , slated to be closed, which have beds, cafeteria, other amenties and dormitories!

Michelle Malkin, are you listening? President Bush, are YOU listening??
