Gates Writes Egan
| Defense Dept. Will
Review A-F Cut
! JUNEAU, l/P) — Governor Wil-1
i liam Egan says the Secretary of
! Defense has ordered a review of
i the Air Force decision to elimi
nate the 440th Fighter-Inte'rcep- !
! tor Squadron at Ladd Air Force j
Base near Fairbanks.
| The Governor said he was ad- j
j vised of the review in a letterj
from Defense Secretary Thomas i
j S. Gates Jr.
Gates told the Governor hej
! could understand his concern |
over the Air Force decision to de- j
i activate the 25 planes of the
i squadron at Ladd, and that he has
asked the Air Force to review the
order.
The state’s Congressional dele
gation, Governor Egan and other |
Alaskan officials protested the '
Air Force decision, saying elimina
tion of the Ladd squadron would j
reduce fighter interceptor strength ,
in Alaska by 40 per cent and put |
the entire aerial defense load on i
33 fighter interceptor planes sta
tioned at Elmendorf Air Force j
Base.
Governor Egan, in a strongly- I
worded protest sent to Defense I
Secretary Gates May 14, had asked '
for a Defense Department review !
of the Air Force order. In his let- j
ter to Gates, the Governor said i
the Air Force decision appeared |
“foolhardy, if not irresponsible.” j
