    What evidence exists that Jewish service members are currently buried under incorrect markers, and how would the commission verify identities before making corrections?

  2. 02

    How much would this 10-year program cost, and should those expenses come from the American Battle Monuments Commission's existing budget or new funding?

  3. 03

    What safeguards would prevent corrections to burial records from being made in error, and who decides when a marker change is appropriate?
