the Navy JAG, Judge Advocate General, resigned over this. The head of Naval Investigative Service resigned over this. We held up nominations for months and months, and looked at every single record of those coming before us, as to their possible involvement here. So the Senator's information--I do not know where that information comes from, but it is simply erroneous. There have been a number of people at the very top of the Navy whose careers have been completely disrupted, some of whom have been forced into early retirement, one of whom was head of aviation and retired on two stars rather than three. So I do not know where this information is coming from. But the Record should reflect that it is erroneous.
