Subject: CALEPA Environmental Advisory Grp for mil. base closure

To all interested parties:

Our advisory board met on 18-19 Oct. '95 at a recently closed army facility,
Fort Mason in San Francisco. Ca. This installation has been converted 
into a beautiful national park.

The first item on the agenda actually overshadowed all the other concerns.

Our discussion revolved around the viability and relevancy of the 
advisory panel vis a vis with the CALEPA. Whether we were to be 
proactively involved in remediation oversight or perhaps devolving into an 
ancillary appendage. Or in other words continuing to be a watchdog and 
not being transformed into a lapdog. 

Many advisory panels and restoration advisory boards have a tendency to 
gravitate in the direction of the latter due to inertia. A constant vigil 
must of necessity be maintained to obviate this effectively. Our advisory 
group, after a great amount of soul-searching appears to have 
succeeded in this endeavor.
