lie on the table; as follows:

assistance to communities affected by defense base closures

Sec. 1607.  It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) during even the best of economic times, the closure or
realignment of a military installation can devastate a local
economy, and in our current economy, it will be even more
difficult for those communities to redevelop and stem job
losses; and
(2) particular consideration should be given to providing
assistance and relief under this Act to communities affected
by the closure or realignment of military installations.
