FORCE TO USE THIS LOCATION WILL BE ON THE CABINET AGENDA FOR THE MEETING OF MARCH 22ND. THIS, HOPEFULLY, WOULD OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE AIR FORCE TO INDICATE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR THAT THEY HAVE NO FURTHER USE FOR THE LANDS IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SO THEY OFFICIALLY CAN BE DECLARED "EXCESS," COMMISSIONER SOY CONTINUED THAT WE ARE VERY HOPEFUL THAT NO OTHER FEDERAL AGENCY WILL INDICATE A NEED FOR THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY AND IN- FORMED THE BOARD THAT SENATOR CHILES FEELS STRONGLY THAT THE BEST "OSSIBLE USE OF THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY.WOULD BE TO GIVE IT BACK TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
