The Air Force said Thursday
the center, located at Lackland
Air Force Base here, would
close by April 15, 1974, when its
mission is assumed by a com-

The Air Force attributed the
closing to withdrawal from
Vietnam and reduced Air Force

abuse prevention efforts for
deterring drug abuse," an Air
Force statement said
