text: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
  
      Congress finds the following:
              (1) The roles of the Department of Defense and the 
          Department of Homeland Security, and the resources necessary 
          for homeland defense, are still evolving.
              (2) The decision to conduct an additional round of base 
          closures and realignments in 2005 was developed before the 
          tragic events of September 11, 2001.
              (3) The long-term, costs, and personnel requirements of 
          Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Noble Eagle, and 
          Operation Iraqi Freedom are still unknown.
              (4) Additional funds are necessary to adequately supply the 
          Armed Forces for current missions, while expediting military 
          transformation.
              (5) The Congress will not have the opportunity to 
          thoroughly review and consider the policy decisions culminating 
          in the Global Posture Review before decisions regarding the 
          closure and realignment of military installations will be 
          required in the 2005 round of base closures and realignments.
              (6) The expected costs of implementing and executing base 
          closures and realignments recommended in the 2005 round is 
          estimated at $15,000,000,000 and net savings from such base 
          closures and realignments will not be realized until 
          approximately 2011.
