Of the key moments of the american civil war. They were in chattanooga for their 33rd annual meeting of the society of the army of the cumberland. That army had fought in march across middle tennessee in 1863, climbing mountains and reversing rivers before fighting confederate armies at chickamauga creek, in the greatest battle in the western theater of the war. In the minds of these veterans, chickamauga was not a union defeat, but rather the battle for the capture and permanent possession of the city where they were meeting, chattanooga.

We still have big concerns about the five, and i didnt mention that when we were briefed in november of 2011 and january of 2012 that there was real concerns of members of congress that those five would be released. In fact, there was real opposition to it, and thats why were very concerned that we werent told if we reenter those negotiations, you would be told and then we werent, so those are things that we really need to have clarified and worked through. Mr. Thornberry. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Mr. Secretary, id like to begin with a brief additional observation on the notification issue. For the past several years, this committee has worked on a bipartisan basis to establish an oversight structure for cyberoperations, for terrorism operations and for sensitive military operations.
