(Below is a press release from the New Mexico Congressional Delegation regarding the BRAC Commission's decision to create an enclave at Cannon AFB)

New Mexico Delegation Accepts BRAC Decision to Create 'Enclave' at Cannon AFB and Seek New Mission
(Commission Defers on Saving or Closing CAFB Outright, Sets Deadline for Defense Secretary to Find New Mission)

WASHINGTON - On Friday, members of New Mexico's congressional delegation today accepted the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) decision to put Cannon Air Force Base at Clovis into an "enclave status" so new missions might be found for the Curry County base.

U.S. Senators Pete Domenici and Jeff Bingaman, and Representatives Tom Udall, Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce, were all part of the concerted federal, state and local effort to overturn the Department of Defense decision to put Cannon on the 2005 BRAC list.

By giving Cannon an "enclave" status, the Commission accepted the Pentagon's decision to move all F-16 aircraft now at Cannon to other bases, but directed the Secretary of Defense to study the base and find possible new missions for the base by 2009. It is not likely that the F-16s will be redeployed to the other bases prior to 2008 because the movement will cost an estimated $90.1 million in military construction and personnel needed to support F-16s.

During this time, the delegation will work to identify new missions for the base in order to minimize the time during which the base would be in enclave status.

"I think the Commission was just plain wrong not to simply take Cannon off the list. I am profoundly disappointed, and think the decision not to keep Cannon as an active base is wrongheaded. I am particularly displeased with the recusals that kept the Commission from just keeping the base open," Domenici said. "On the bright side, we still have opportunities. We are not starting from scratch. There are already active talks on possible missions that could use the airspace and other assets at Cannon. I pledge, as a member of the Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, to forcefully pressure the Administration and the Secretary of Defense to find new missions for Cannon as quickly as possible."

"It's clear that the BRAC Commission wasn't persuaded by the Pentagon's arguments that Cannon should be closed. This decision gives us time to regroup as a delegation and work even harder at convincing the Pentagon that Cannon Air Force Base is much too valuable to lose, and that it is well suited for future missions," Bingaman said.

"This is a day of conflicting emotions," Udall said. "We all would have preferred a clear and decisive vote from the commission to keep Cannon open. It is, however, a victory that the Pentagon was not able to convince the commission to close Cannon. Our work is not done. We will now turn to convincing the Secretary of Defense that Cannon has important missions to perform for a long time to come."

"Today is a partial victory," said Wilson. "We had the votes to keep Cannon open permanently if two people hadn't recused themselves. Our job now is to begin to identify new missions, working with all the services and other government agencies. The people of Clovis and Portales did a fantastic job supporting Cannon. They convinced a majority of commissioners to keep it open permanently, and they deserve our thanks."

"While I am disappointed that we fell one vote short of an unqualified victory, I am pleased that the BRAC Commission provided us with a fighting chance to prove that Cannon Air Force Base remains a vital component of America's military preparedness," Pearce said. "The Commission's decision enables Cannon to compete for the military's next generation of aircraft, as well as for numerous other possible missions. By continuing to highlight Cannon's unparalleled attributes, I strongly believe that we can develop a vibrant new mission and a secure future for this vital component of our state's social and economic fabric."

The delegation noted that during deliberations Thursday, Gen. Lloyd W. Newton (USAF, Retired), said Cannon would be an "ideal" location for the future operational F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).

The delegation noted its work to gain congressional authorization of the New Mexico Training Range Initiative to provide supersonic flight training has been promoted in anticipation for JFS requirements. With today's BRAC decision, the delegation can, among other things, work to convince the Air Force that the first JSF operational wing should be located at Cannon.

During the 2005 BRAC process, the delegation had also advocated moving Airborne Laser testing activities to Cannon AFB. Growing unmanned vehicle missions could also be effectively established at the base.

The Commission must now send its closure and realignment recommendations to President Bush by Sept. 8, which will set in motion a series of decision within the White House and Congress to approve or disapprove the decisions on an "all or nothing" basis. Congress has yet to reject any final recommendations made for previous BRAC exercises.

Employee Briefs

Dr. Tamara Raatz, associate professor of music, has been recently selected for inclusion in Who's Who in American Women and Who's Who in American Teachers. These organizations are national registries of excellence in scholarship and teaching.

Dr. Don Holladay, assistant professor of religion and instructor of philosophy, attended the "Summer Classics" at St. John's College in Santa Fe during the week of July 25-29. Dr. Holladay joined with eight other students and two tutors studying the works of the twentieth century philosopher Emmanuel Levinas. Levinas's philosophy is built on a critique of phenomenology, in which he asserts that the ethical precedes the material, and is the basis of what is distinctively human thought. Levinas' thought has gained in importance among European thinkers in the last twenty years. Dr. Holladay has participated in the Summer Classics at St. John's for two onsecutive summers. Last summer, he studied the dialogues of Plato.

Dr. Michael F. Shaughnessy and Dr. Peter McLaren of UCLA have had a paper accepted for publication in The International Journal of Progressive Education.

Message from ITS Regarding Use of Cell Phones in Emergencies – Recently, there have been several articles appearing in local newspapers and radio spots regarding emergency contact information stored on cellular phones. Last year a British paramedic came up with the idea, and because of the recent London bombings, the idea has swept through the country by e-mail. The idea already has the support of New Mexico law enforcement agencies.

In order to help emergency personnel locate next-of-kin and other emergency contacts for incapacitated victims of emergency situations, it is recommended that every mobile phone user place emergency contact information in their cellular phone’s phonebook under the heading “ICE”. Emergency personnel can quickly find names and numbers under that heading to make essential contacts and also to obtain information regarding medications the victim might be using. “ICE” stands for “In Case of Emergency” and emergency medical personnel will look for that entry as a new public awareness campaign is launched this month in this area.

Jan Elliott, executive director of Eastern New Mexico Emergency Medical Services, is encouraging residents of Portales and surrounding areas to “ICE” their cell phones. Many times, other forms of identification are carried by victims but do not provide the necessary information to contact relatives or other interested parties, resulting in delays of notification and needed services.
Consent is required for certain types of medical treatment and/or transportation of injured parties and the ICE program could speed up the process of obtaining that consent and possibly save a life.

According to officials at the State Attorney General’s office, there are no specific legal issues dealing with “ICE-ing” a mobile phone. By entering the ICE information into the phone, you are giving consent to emergency personnel to access it and obtain phone numbers of emergency contacts.

If you have questions regarding “ICE-ing” your phone, please contact Linda Hamrick at extension 2287. – submitted by Linda Hamrick

ENMU Community Invited to Ice Cream Social – Faculty, staff and students are invited to join the College of Business for free ice cream sundaes. To welcome everyone back and get the 2005-2006 academic year off to a great start, please come to The College of Business' 13th Annual Ice Cream Social on Wednesday, Sept. 7 from 3-4:30 p.m. in the foyer of the College of Business. (For those who are health conscious, fat free yogurt will be available.)

Number Changed for Employees to Make Long Distance Calls While Traveling – For the past three years, Eastern New Mexico University employees traveling outside of the local calling area could dial an 800 number and use their long distance authorization code and a four-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) to make long distance calls. These calls would be billed to their department. On June 26 a new toll-free number will be activated for this purpose, eliminating the need to enter the PIN. After this date, the previous toll-free number will no longer be used. This toll-free service should only be used outside our local calling area.
To use the new toll-free access:

Dial 1.866.788.7016 and you will hear dial tone.

Dial * 6 * + authorization code + # (sign) + 6 + area code and phone number.
(This is the same dialing sequence that is used when you are on campus)

Charges for these calls will appear on your department bill.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Linda Hamrick at extension 2287 or Rick Bresler at extension 2265.

Roswell News

Eclipse Aviation Corporation, manufacturer of the revolutionary Eclipse 500 very light jet (VLJ), is teaming with Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell (ENMU-Roswell) and Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute (TVI). The partnership is designed to prepare students to meet the growing requirements of entry-level aviation manufacturing positions.

The classes will begin on October 3rd at the TVI Workforce Training Center in Albuquerque and will include assembly and installation techniques, tool usage, blueprint reading, and theory of flight and safety. The initial class will train approximately 20 students for 12 weeks.

“We are on track to start delivering Eclipse 500s to customers early in 2006 and will need to increase our team with many qualified manufacturing employees over the coming years,” said Eclipse Aviation president and CEO Vern Raburn. “Eclipse is bringing modern manufacturing processes to aviation, and we are working closely with ENMU-Roswell and TVI to help students develop the progressive skill sets needed for these positions.”

According to Dr. Dwight Rogers, Dean of Instruction at ENMU-Roswell, “Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell is proud to be a partner in this exciting project. As a community university, part of our mission is to foster economic growth in our area through business development and workforce training partnerships. Our support of TVI and Eclipse Aviation fits squarely into this mission. We have a long history of expertise in aviation through our successful FAA approved Aviation Maintenance Technology program, which has been in operation since 1968.”

University officials say as the training program grows, the state’s economy as a whole will benefit, as will Roswell and Chaves County, which continues to attract aviation related businesses. Officials say the skills students learn in the aircraft manufacturing process are also transferable to other industries.

The manufacturability of the Eclipse 500 is an essential element in the company’s strategy. Both the aircraft design and manufacturing system were conceived to deliver scalable, high-volume production at a low cost. Eclipse is using advanced manufacturing methods that are not traditionally used in aviation including: Friction Stir Welding (FSW); lean manufacturing principles; reproducibility through high precision parts, high precision tooling and laser tracking; extreme outsourcing and JIT supply chain; and modular sub-assemblies.

Eclipse, ENMU-Roswell, and TVI will host an orientation meeting for interested candidates at the TVI Workforce Training Center at 5600 Eagle Rock Road in Albuquerque on September 12 at 6:30 p.m. Application information and program details will be available at this meeting. Class schedules will be available online at www.tvi.edu. Anyone interested in aviation manufacturing employment is encouraged to attend.
