State Governors' Letter To Congress On ANG End Strength

In an April 27, 2012, letter to the House and Senate defense committees, the Council of Governors and National Governors Association declare that their attempt to find common ground with the Air Force regarding what is in the best interest of the states' Air National Guard units has not been fruitful, yielding only a small margin of improvement over the previous proposal, which included the elimination of more than 60 A-10 aircraft and the retirement of 65 C-130s.
