From Times staff and wire reports
Language that would prevent the closing of Army operations at San Francisco’s Presidio is included in the $286-billion defense appropriations bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and pending in the Senate. A Pentagon commission had recommended that 86 military facilities, including the Presidio, be closed. But language in the bill passed by the House last week calls for maintaining the Army’s Letterman Hospital, reserve activities and military housing units in the Presidio.
