In order to implement the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Program (BRAC), Congress has a bill under consideration to fund recommendations in the amount of 5.43 billion dollars (H.R. 5385). Although this is a substantial amount of money, it is 400 million dollars less than the Administration requested. Nonetheless, once a funding bill is passed for this phase of the BRAC program, a significant number of projects are planned for Texas, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky.
