Mr. President,
Due to the sequestration and subsequent furlough of Government Service Employees - the National Guard and Reserves are being placed in a dangerous position of unreadiness. Our defense could be jepardized. More than half of the uniformed service members that support the guard and reserve are Federal Technicians - responsible for readiness, training, veterans and military issues, etc. If there is no exemption from the furlough, they will not be able to function in their roles and both State and Federal support will suffer. I am requesting on their behalf that our National Guard and Reserve Technicians be exempted so that the defense of this country is not compromised.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Lieutenant Colonel Elizabeth Sharp -EO/EEO Manager - TNARNG
