Navy Base Budget
Cut 10%; 14 Jobs
To Be Abolished
During a special meeting of the
Base-Town Committee Wednesday,
Captain Roy P. Gee, Commanding
Officer of the Naval Station, an
nounced that due to a reduction in
the Station’s operating monies, a
number of economy measures are
due to be instituted including a re
duction of 14 civilian positions.
“Fortunately, 12 of the positions
which are to be abolished, are not
filled at the current time,” Captain
Gee said. “Therefore, only two per
sons are having to be released.”
Th operating budget for the Sta
tion was reduced by approximately
18 percent less than was requested
—some 10 percent less than last
year’s allotment — forcing exten
sive economy measures to be taken.
“The bulk of the savings will be
through internal consolidations
and economies and will not effe«t
the operational readiness of the
Station. By the same token,” Cap
tain Gee said, “this will have vir
tually no effect on the local ec
onomy.”
Captain Gee emphasized that
"Kodiak is not alone in this reduc
tion in operating monies. This is a
nation - wide money saving reduc
tion in the Defense Department
and in keeping with the adminis
tration’s economic polecies.”
