On the recordApril 19, 1994
I believe the Senator said no one except Lieutenant Coughlin lost a job. That simply is not correct. The Secretary of Navy resigned in light of all of this, and then Admiral Dunleavy, who was the Chief of Naval Aviation, was forced to retire and would have retired with three stars, but retired with only two stars. So there has been punishment at the very top. The IG of the Navy was also given a reprimand. So the Senator's information--I do not know where he gets that information, but it is simply incorrect.
