he closing, reduction in scope, or expansion of military installations on domestic soil and
overseas, the privatization of government-built military housing, the provision of benefits
and medical care to eligible veterans, and the redeployment of military units to the United

to support all of these activities are provided by the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and
Related Agencies Appropriations Act debated annually in both chambers.
For the Second Session of the 111th Congress, issues directly related to military construction

presence due to the 2005 round of base closures and realignments and a reassessment of the
number and location of U.S. military installations overseas.
