Dr.
Resident James Wilson
expressed concern over this item,
saying the proposed establishment
is “very close to the Agricenter.”

He said Eighth District Rep.
Saxby Chambliss. R-Ga., has
worked to get a test of support in a
committee in Congress. That
recent vote, 34-13 in favor of
keeping the present 60-40 mili
tary-private effort rule in effect,
was encouraging.
Rucker, who formerly was the
highest ranking civilian employed
at Robins before his retirement,
was the professional in charge of
defending the base during the
1995 BRAC hearings.
Rucker said the base had made
many strides forward during the
past two years, including being
named the best Air Force base in
the world, and in involving the
community.
“It was the communities which
were directed to defend their
bases,” Rucker said. “Bases them
selves weren’t directly involved.
Communities had to sell the
BRAC members on keeping those
bases open,” he added.
He said any changes at Robins
would have an impact on the mid
state area where half of all jobs in
the area are tied to the base in one
way or another.
Rucker said residents of the
midstate were amazed when stud

more than a billion dollars had
been spent over the years provid
ing roads, schools and other needs
in the community as a result of
Robins’ presence.
Rucker said that while Robins
is fulfilling a vital mission, one
which he believes will continue,
community involvement in that
role is necessary.
Because the foundation was
laid during 1993 for the 21st
Century Partnership, the prepara
tion for BRAC 1995 was made
easier, he said. More than
$400,000 was raised in less than
two weeks in a fund-raising drive
led by Steed during 1993. Much of
that money remained for use dur
ing 1995.
Rucker urged a rational
approach to privatization, and
said that it was not an all or none
approach. He said Robins and
the two remaining Air Force
depots should have plenty of
work to do if the matter is han
dled correctly.
The two men agreed that com
munity support from the approxi
mately 25 cities involved in 21st
Century Partnership membership
was essential to protect the future
economy in the midstate area.
