After a visit to the Minot base Friday afternoon, Lt. Gen. Frank Klotz, assistant vice chief of staff of the Air Force, accompanied by Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., and Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., spoke at a public meeting at the Minot Municipal Auditorium, outlining the details of the Pentagon’s plan announced earlier this year to bring a second squadron of B-52s to the base. About 80 people attended the meeting.
Klotz emphatically said “no” when asked if the events which occurred Thursday regarding the Air Force’s two top-level people would have an impact on plans to bring another B-52 squadron to the Minot base.
