Those Philippine Bases

I speak for those U.S. voters who would strongly urge Congress not to spend hundreds of millions of dollars expanding and upgrading facilities at Subic Base and Clark Air Field in the Philippines. Those for whom I speak would urge instead that Congress press the Executive to take steps immediately to bring about the withdrawal of U.S. military facilities and personnel from the Philippines, so that by 1991, the expiration date for U.S. bases in the Philippines under present agreements, all U.S. military personnel and equipment now in the Philippines will have been brought home to the United States.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
