On June 28, 2005 US Newswire reported, "The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is urging members of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee to act in an oversight capacity to ensure that the recommendations of a recent Air Force task force investigation into religious intolerance will be implemented. In written testimony submitted today before the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Personnel, ADL said that Congress should oversee the implementation of reforms proposed in the report of the Headquarters Review Group, which wrapped up its investigation on June 22 by acknowledging that religious intolerance is a persistent problem at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. 'Now that we have an acknowledgement of the problem of religious intolerance by the chain of command, who called for the Air Force Academy to establish clear guidelines on what is and is not acceptable, Congress should ensure that the guidelines are followed,' said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director."
