 DoD News: Secretary Rumsfeld Media Stakeout at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona
It’s a wonderful spot.  We flew in over it and had a chance to see it from the air and have been here visiting with the troops and answer some questions and tell them how much we appreciate their service to the country.
Q:  And in talking about that realignment process to bring troops home from Europe, we know that the Department of the Army is looking at possibly looking at putting some of those guys at the Yuma Proving Ground.  What are you hearing about that?
A:  I don’t speculate.  I wait until the commission is appointed and they come in with their recommendations and then I have a chance to look at it.  What I have been deeply involved in is the rearrangements around the world, but within the United States, that has to be done according to the statute.
