	interrupted for up to two hours daily as OE items located
	that day are blown in place or on site."

	"In December 1988, the BRAC Commission recommended that range
	and training areas, including the airfield at Fort Meade, be
	closed to realign Fort Meade from an active Army post to an
	administrative center. The National Security Agency is the
	primary tenant of the new administrative center at Fort Meade."
