In paragraph four of the agreement, it states that civilian employees will have priority over military family members and retirees in the smoking cessation of classes. I am a military member and I cannot understand why the civilians have this priority over military family members and retirees. I feel if both you and your spouse smoke and can attend the class together, there is a greater possibility that not being around the smoke at home will help you quit. Also, this class is liven through the base hospital, which is only ? or military personnel. Capt.

Is it possible for the base to do something so the landlords will keep the price down until Variable Housing Allowance rates catch up? Also, I understand that Area G is opened; is there some way that the existing Area C can be used to relieve the pressure on rental rates? I realize your concern about what is evolv-in- g with the housing and rental market in this area. What is happening is a matter of supply and demand. Simply, the growth in population is outpacing existing assets in this area, . which is encouraging prices to go up. Since we do have a free economy, there is very little Hill AFB can do. The Base Housing Office is constantly looking for new rental units, but as I'm sure you are aware, they are very hard to locate. .When ren- tals are listed, they go very fast. The VHA surV V vey process ended Aug. 2, 1994, and I understand those surveyed provided a formidable response. This provides the best avenue to relieve the pressures of high costs of e 1 ' I privacy. although the agreement states that civilian have priority, no one has ever been turned away from a smoking cessation class. . Rarely have there been more than three civilians in each class, with class sizes ranging from 20 to 25 people. If the requests exceed the classes, more classes would be added to accommodate, . the base population. Starting this month, night classes will be held. If you have any questions or concerns about the smoking policy agreement or need information on the smoking cessation classes, please contact Irons, Ext.
