Congresswoman Wilson’s Statement on Re-Issue of DACOWITS Charter March 06, 2002
 
Washington, DC-Congresswoman Heather Wilson issued a statement today on the Pentagon’s proposed new charter for the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services (DACOWITS).

“Women are a vital part of our nation’s defense. They have served for years with honor and have each brought their own skills and expertise to the military. I know that the Pentagon also values the women who have chosen to serve their country and that is why I am surprised that they have targeted this committee. I have not received an official copy of the charter and so I cannot fully comment on it. I am aware, however, of changes that have been made that I do not believe best serve women or, in the long term, the Department of Defense. Based on what I’ve seen, I fear that the committee will be a shadow of what it once was. This is unfair to our servicewomen and unwise for the Department of Defense.”
