SASC Passes Bill With Similar Wording to HASC

The Senate Armed Services Committee has unanimously passed legislation very similar to that passed earlier by the House, which would give the Pittsburgh Air Force a reprieve through the end of 2013. It now must pass in the full Senate and the White House before becoming the law. This bill is not final yet so we cannot claim victory or let our guard down. To read the bill from the House Armed Service Committee, click http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/hr4310/text#, look under section 145. The bill from the Senate Armed Services Committee hasnt been released yet. When it does, well post it on our website, www.macwpa.org, so be watching for it.
