A SENATE RESOLUTION PETITIONING THE DEFENSE BASE CLOSURE AND REALIGNMENT COMMISSION TO RETAIN THE CHERRY POINT NAVAL AVIATION DEPOT.
Whereas, the Cherry Point Naval Aviation Depot received the highest score on the military value matrix of the Department of Defense; and
Whereas, the Cherry Point Naval Aviation Depot is the only two-time winner of the Federal Quality Institute's Quality Improvement Prototype Award; and
Whereas, the Cherry Point Naval Aviation Depot has the greatest accumulation of operating revenue of any of the Naval Aviation Depots in the nation; and
Whereas, the Cherry Point Naval Aviation Depot employs 3,200 civilians in Eastern North Carolina and is the largest single employer in Eastern North Carolina; and
Whereas, the loss of this many jobs in Eastern North Carolina would represent a larger percentage job loss than in at least four of the other Naval Aviation Depot locations;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Senate:
Section 1.  The North Carolina Senate petitions the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission to retain the Cherry Point Naval Aviation Depot, the most cost-efficient and productive  Naval Aviation Depot in the Department of Defense.
Sec. 2.  The Principal Clerk shall transmit a certified copy of this resolution to the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission.
Sec. 3.  This resolution is effective upon adoption.
