<home> -- <press releases> -- <February 22, 2008> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—February 22, 2008– "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the airmen who were involved in the crash of the B-2 Stealth bomber on Andersen Air Force Base today. I am relieved to hear from the Air Force that the crew of this plane are in good condition," said Congresswoman Madeleine Z. Bordallo. "This unfortunate incident coupled with the recent crash of the EA-6B Prowler earlier in the month should stand as a strong reminder that our men and women in uniform have dangerous jobs that secure our nation's freedom. We appreciate their service to our nation in the face of such dangers and threats." Bordallo continued, "I know that the Air Force will quickly commence a thorough investigation into this crash. I know the report will address any issues of safety to the community. I will work closely with Andersen Air Force base and Air Force leadership to ensure that all safety issues are appropriately addressed." ### Contact: Joseph E.
