In July 1995, as part of the fourth round of federal base closings, the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission recommended closure of the McClellan Air Force Base in Sacramento. An all-out community lobbying effort kept McClellan off the closure list in 1993. This recording captures a rally that celebrated the victory of keeping the base of the closure list. Area leaders attending the rally included Rep. Vic Fazio, D-West Sacramento; Rep. Robert Matsui, D-Sacramento; Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Tracy; Sacramento Mayor Joe Serna Jr.; and Sacramento County Supervisor Grantland Johnson.
