CTWG: National Board

To All CAP Officers

Commanders and CAC Reps - please also share with your cadets

The Civil Air Patrol's Winter National Board sessions took place last week in Washington.

The thrust of the Legislative Day was to confer with members and staffs in the US Senate and House of Representatives. The two issues to raise this time were the restoration of $4.4m of funding to CAP cut by USAF, and the reintroduction of HR 133, a bill involving closer integration of CAP's services to the homeland security agencies. Insofar as the Connecticut' congressional delegation was concerned, we got to the offices of Senator Dodd, Senator Lieberman, and Rep Himes of the 4th District.
