Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, wants to attach an amendment to the 2007 defense authorization bill that would turn Santa Rosa Island—in California’s Channel Islands National Park—into a DOD installation for military recreation and training. The Los Angeles Times reports that Hunter tried to work this issue last spring with little success.
Air Force Chief of Staff nominee Gen. Kenneth S. Wilsbach said he'll give special attention to coordinating with the Navy on buys of new weapons.
