A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION | To urge the Congress of the United States to maintain

Mansfield-Lahm Regional Airport in Mansfield,
Ohio.
|
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING):
| WHEREAS, The United States Air Force 179th Airlift Wing is a
military airlift organization assigned to the Ohio Air National
Guard and stationed at Mansfield-Lahm Regional Airport; and |
| WHEREAS, Due to its superior record, the 179th Airlift Wing
received a mission to operate the C-27J Spartan aircraft, a twin
turboprop aircraft with short takeoff and landing capabilities,
ideal for the nation's current military needs and for providing
rapid response support for homeland emergencies; and |
| WHEREAS, The United States Air Force has published proposed
personnel actions associated with plans to retire more than 300
aircraft nationwide, including the C-27J; and |
| WHEREAS, The United States Air Force has plans to move
personnel positions among states to mitigate the impact of the
reductions; and |
| WHEREAS, The United States Air National Guard, including the
179th Airlift Wing, is responsible for homeland defense, and the
C-27J is an important tool in accomplishing this mission; and |
| WHEREAS, The 179th Airlift Wing has made United States Air
National Guard history by deploying the C-27J in Afghanistan in
Operation Enduring Freedom; and |
| WHEREAS, Closing the Air National Guard Station at
Mansfield-Lahm, relocating its personnel, and diverting or
retiring its C-27J aircraft would create discontinuity and weaken
national defense and homeland disaster readiness; now therefore be
it |
| RESOLVED, That the Congress of the United States is urged to
maintain operation of the 179th Airlift Wing at Mansfield-Lahm
Regional Airport to ensure Ohio and our nation will continue to
benefit from the unique experience and capabilities of its
personnel and the region; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit duly
authenticated copies of this resolution to the President of the
United States, to the President Pro Tempore and Secretary of the
United States Senate, to the Speaker and the Clerk of the United
States House of Representatives, to the members of the Ohio
Congressional delegation, and to the news media of Ohio. |
