Statement of U.S. Rep. Christopher Cox
        On the Future of MCAS-El Toro After the Navy’s Record of Decision

                             WASHINGTON (Tuesday, April 23, 2002)—Today, the Department of the Navy issued formal
                         approval of Orange County’s plans for the future of the MCAS-El Toro base. I am very pleased that
                         the Department of the Navy has issued a Record of Decision that will result in the implementation
                         of Measure W.

                             As the Record of Decision indicates, the next step is to transfer the property from federal to local
                         ownership. I have the Navy’s assurances that any auction of real property at El Toro will be
                         conducted consistent with Measure W, and in cooperation with the land use planning efforts of the
                         City of Irvine. Finally, today’s Record of Decision makes clear at the federal level what is already
                         an accomplished fact at the local level: the property will be developed for parkland and other
                         Measure W-consistent uses, and not for aviation.
