Kennedy says he was formally interviewed by ARB.
Kennedy repeats that there was never a stand down order.
Smith asks about non disclosure agreements? Kennedy not aware of any. Smith has asked where the survivors are. Kennedy says one still in hospital, and four are on assignemnt again.
Some Dem talking about amounts cut from FY budgets from requests.

Kennedy says we are making all efforts to find the killers of the AMericans. No stone unturned in effort to bring the killers to justice.
exit82 engages in projectile vomiting.
