McCaskill looks at next steps for Arlington National Cemetery

The management of Arlington National Cemetery has improved dramatically over the past year—but the continued need for a full accounting of graves, standard operating procedures, a long-term master management plan, and action to address lingering contract management problems were among the findings at a Senate hearing today chaired by U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill. McCaskill, who led the effort to reform the cemetery after revelations of chronic mismanagement, questioned witnesses today including Arlington's director, the U.S. Army's Inspector General, and representatives from the Government Accountability Office. The panel agreed that McCaskill's efforts have resulted in critical improvements, and outlined necessary next steps.

Love you Claire. Have your staff take this video down and fix the opening graphic. Cemetery is spelled wrong.
