	Panel Spares 2 Air Force Bases From Pentagon Closings: From The Tampa Tribune
		The commission began work on the Air Guard plan just as a federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled that the Pentagon lacks the authority to close an Air Guard unit at the Naval Air Station Willow Grove without Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell's approval.
		Air Force officials said their overall plan - affecting active- duty, Air Guard and Air Reserve bases - was designed to make the service more effective by consolidating weapons systems and personnel as it moves to a smaller but smarter fleet.
		Ultimately, the panel decided to close the base but keep intact the Air Guard unit that was subject to the lawsuit and create an Army Guard and Reserve center.
