Chief of staff's testimony addresses 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' repeal initiative
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz serves as a witness before the House Armed Services Committee Feb. 23, 2010, in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill. General Schwartz and Air Force Secretary Michael Donley answered questions that heavily leaned toward the status of the F-35 Lightning II joint strike fighter program, alignment with allies in future aircraft development, force readiness and the service's position on the review of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," policy.
