This morning, I emailed to the office of Congressman Mike Pompeo asking for a phone conversation. His office informed me that the Army will appear before Congress to address the MEDEVAC failure in Afghanistan.

The email follows:

Sir – the Army will be reporting to Congress in the near future on this matter. I do not see value in a conversation prior to the official response.

Sincerely,

James L. Richardson

Legislative Director

Office of Congressman Mike Pompeo (KS-04)

This is outstanding news. But we are far from there. Please post this widely, asking everyone you know to sign this White House petition.

Please make sure to read the latest dispatch and to watch the video of the MEDEVAC failure.
