For the Record - Dec. 11, 2016

California National Guard: In the Dec. 8 Section A, an article about a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the California National Guard bonus repayments misattributed two quotations to Maj. Gen. David Baldwin, commander of the California Guard. The statements were made by Lt. Gen. Timothy Kadavy of the National Guard Bureau, who was testifying with Baldwin. In the first statement, Kadavy said that soldiers who unknowingly received improper bonuses would not be required to pay back the money. In the second, Kadavy said that soldiers ordered to change their military assignments would not have to return bonuses.
