FYI, everyone. And for the record, I will no longer respond to Richard's posts. Sorry for the extra dialogue in public. Also for the record, the views expressed here are my own but as far as I know, they correspond to the Secretary of State's recent policy declarations. We all play our part in the overall effort. April 24, 1999 Fort Dix Preps for Kosovo Refugees -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A.P. INDEXES: TOP STORIES \| NEWS \| SPORTS \| BUSINESS \| TECHNOLOGY \| ENTERTAINMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Filed at 2:25 a.m. EDT By The Associated Press FORT DIX, N.J. (AP) -- As many as 20,000 Kosovo refugees that the United States has agreed to take in will be housed exclusively at Fort Dix, the Courier-Post of Cherry Hill reported in Saturday's editions. Police departments in towns surrounding the base were briefed by military officials Friday and told to expect the first group of refugees in a week, the newspaper said. Pemberton Township Mayor Thalia Kay said Police Chief Paul Tuliano Jr. was advised that the first 1,500 to 2,000 refugees are expected to arrive Friday. ''From what he was told, it is definite and it will be the only base to accept refugees,'' Kay said. ''We also were told they will be coming on a temporary basis and that the Red Cross in Europe is screening refugees in Macedonia to see which ones have relatives and friends in the U.S. That will be the criteria -- they must have ties here.'' Base spokeswoman Carolee Nisbet on Friday said only that ''contingency plans are proceeding.'' The Department of Defense has not said where refugees would be processed. Formerly an Army basic training center, Fort Dix, located about 15 miles southeast of Trenton, now conducts reserve training and processing of troops for overseas deployment. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that more than 600,000 people, the vast majority of them ethnic Albanians, have left Kosovo since NATO began its air assault on March 24.
