Richards joins battle to save Kelly AFB
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO - Gov. Ann
Richards roused Kelly Air Force
Base workers as though it were an
election-eve pep rally Tuesday as
she pledged to lead the battle to
save the base from closure.
"I am telling you, we are in a
fight for our lives with Kelly Air
Force Base. This is as serious as a
heart attack," Richards told sever
al hundred Kelly workers gath
ered in a huge airplane hangar.
"You are going to have to talk
Governor visits Air Force base,
rallies workers to fight closure
to your neighbors, to your friends,
to your fellow workers and tell
them that we are going to fight to
the death to save Kelly Air Force
Base," Richards said.
The San Antonio Air Logistics
Center, Kelly's main function and
its biggest employer with about
12,600 civilian workers, was
added last month to the list of
bases under consideration for clo
sure by the Base Realignment and
Closure Commission.
City and business leaders pre
viously had not shown much wor
ry that Kelly would be closed but
immediately formed a group
dubbed the "Case For Kelly Task
Force" to promote the base.
"I think we'll state our case in a
very dramatic way," said Mayor
Nelson Wolff, whose father
worked at Kelly in the 1940s.
The logistics center oversees
parts and maintenance for a num
ber of aircraft, including the large
C-5 cargo planes.
Richards said she would attend
the commission's public hearing
Sunday in Corpus Christi along
with San Antonio city leaders and
Kelly workers and lobby for Kelly
next week in Washington.
Richards' staff distributed let
ters for Kelly workers to sign and
asked the employees to attach
photographs of themselves to
send to commission members.
