Panel wants audit on base closings Washington a opponents of the govern ment s plan to close some military bases got a mild Victory tuesday As a Senate subcommittee voted to lie the future of the Domestic bases to a congressional audit. The $288.2 billion military spending Bill approved by the appropriations subcommittee on defense contains a provision that would prevent closure unless an audit determines the savings to the Pentagon Over Sis years the Cost flocking the gales. A similar Effort died in the House in july but the Senate measure is considered attractive because the general accounting office audit would include All 86 bases targeted by a government commission. The House amendment affected Only 15. Critics have accused the commission on Hase clo sure and realignment of using faulty data in the cases of some of the bases ordered to close by sept. 30, 1995. They also question whether the commission consid ered the Cost of environmental cleanup at the Sites. The commission said the government would save $5.6 billion Over 20 years if the bases Are closed. The Senate appropriations committee will consider the defense Bill on thursday. We View this As incremental said David Carle spokesman for sen. Paul Simon.

Lawmakers Call for Congress to investigate blast on Iowa Washington a Congress must investigate the shipboard blast that killed 47 sailors on the Battle ship Iowa sen. John Glenn and rep. Mary Rose Oakar said tuesday. There in t any doubt that we have to look into Glenn said during a break in a private briefing by the chief investigator in the gun Turret explosion on the Iowa and other Navy officials i want to find out if they reached the right conclusion and i want to make sure this never happens again said Glenn a Ohio and a member of the Senate armed serv ices committee. In my mind there Are serious shortcomings in the Way the Navy conducted its inquiry and i want to make sure that the Little person s voice is heard in this said Oakar a Ohio after spending four hours with the Navy investigators in a separate briefing. The Pentagon released a report last week that said circumstantial evidence indicated gunner s mate Clay ton Hartvig intentionally sparked the april 19 explosion probably in order to kill himself. The report called Hart wig the principal suspect but said it would be impossible to prove guilt because All those nearby died in the blast. In Cleveland the family of Hartwig has criticized the Navy s report and characterized Hartvig As a convenient Scapegoat being used to deflect attention from what they consider the Navy s negligence. Oakar who represents part of Cleveland said she would seek two probes a general accounting office investigation of Navy procedures and equipment and a House armed services investigations subcommittee examination of he Way the Navy handled the Iowa Case. I firmly believe the Navy has some responsibility in this matter to make sure the reputations and families of the sailors who did in this tragedy Are protected from allegations that cannot be proven she said. Sen. Howard met Renbaum. A Ohio who joined Glenn s briefing with rear adm Richard d. Milligan said he was unhappy with the Navy s answers to his questions. I would have difficulty arriving at the same conclusions the Navy arrived at met a Baum told reporters. After reviewing the facts that led the Navy to report that the explosion probably was deliberately caused by a suicidal Sailor i would say it would t even be enough evidence to submit to a grand said a lawyer
