For Immediate Release:
Wednesday, March 7, 2007

Murray asked about soldiers spending up to two years in medical holdover units, including Captain Mary Maddox.

KILEY: It's not acceptable to have soldiers languishing. I'll be the first to say that, and clearly we're taking action to make sure we don't.
