		Then the BRAC process was complicated further when the language of the 1988 and 1990 BRAC laws was subjected to creative and flexible interpretations, most notably in the cases of two Air Force bases, Kelly in Texas and McClellan in California.

		Once BRAC Commission recommendations are approved by Congress, all bases, regardless of service ownership, should be transferred to a single agency or contractor for closure and remediation or for realignment implementation as quickly as possible in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
