The charges resulted from an investigation by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, acting as part of the Northwest Florida Defense Procurement Fraud Task Force. Finney said the investigation into the company's operations began after the Department of Defense Fraud hot line received a tip. Candidates if i on Whiting '95 base closures hot topic at forum By Larry A. Sullivan News Journal MILTON Three Northwest Florida congressional candidates; seeking to reassure Santa Rosa County voters, agreed on the need to protect Whiting Field from 1995 base closures.

Worries about the future of the major Navy flight-training facility dominated a forum sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce and attended by about 80 people at the Milton campus of Pensacola Junior College. Despite differences on other issues, the three candidates Democrat Vince Whibbs Republican Joe Scarborough and write-in Ralph Boone were unanimous in their pledge to defend the base as America tightens its defense belt. Whibbs and Scarborough reiterated that they have received commitments from their party's congressional leaders to sit on the influential House Armed Services Committee. All three said they realized sharp reduction or closing would devastate the county, where Whiting accounts for 28 percent of the economy. Then they differed a bit in their approaches.

Whibbs said that as a Democrat and ex-Marine Corps officer he would have the most leverage. The decisions will be made in the near term by a Democratic White House. But Scarborough addressed specific local concerns that the Navy's helicopter training would be moved to Alabama and consolidated with Army training at Fort Rucker, despite significant differences in missions and cost. "It just doesn't make sense," he said. "The Navy does a better job on instrument training than the Army does." Scarborough cited 19 studies that confirmed Whiting was more efficient than Fort Rucker, despite efforts by Alabama lawmakers to move the operations.

Boone, who is the least known of the three candidates, said Whiting would likely lose its helicopter programs in spite of its efficiency, but predicted it would be replaced with something else. Boone discounted the Alabama proposal, saying Whiting's greatest threat came from Texas and GOP heavyweights like Sen. Phil Gramm, who recently campaigned for Scarborough. "And that's what really concerns me," Boone said. Because the forum was spon-; sored by the Chamber of Com-' merce, several questions focused on business issues.

All three said they had the background to help-businesses. They also endorsed: Tax credits for worker retraining. Programs to encourage investment, such as a cut in the capital gains tax. Term limits, with Whibbs and Scarborough calling for them to be imposed in all states or not at all. Whibbs, Scarborough and Boone also agreed on their opposition to the proposed GATT treaty on trade and mandated health insurance from employers.

WSRE's first program director, Eric Smith, now director of telecommunications for the Florida Department of Education, remembers when the station went on the air 25 years ago on the PJC campus. "We were very proud that we had the first public television building in the state of Florida," Smith said. "We never dreamed that WSRE would operate out of a facility such as this," he said. Allan Pizzato, WSRE's station manager, said the building is more than just a home for the station. "It is the Kugelman Center for Telecommunications, dedicated to utilizing new communication technologies for the education and enlightenment of the community," he said.
