In an action brought by the Governor of Illinois challenging certain recommendations brought under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act, district court judgment is modified and affirmed where the governor’s actions in invoking 32 U.S.C. sec. 104(c), which prohibits redeployment without gubernatorial consent, for the declared purpose of excluding its one base from the Commission’s realignment program is forbidden by the Realignment Act, as the Act supersedes any statute that is incompatible with the Act’s all-or-none feature.
