SEC. 1089. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE REPORTING OF THE MV-22 MISHAP IN MARANA, ARIZONA, ON APRIL 8, 2000. It is the sense of Congress that— (1) in the report accompanying H.R. 1735 of the 114th Congress (House Report 114-102), the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives encouraged the Secretary of Defense to “publicly clarify the causes of the MV-22 mishap at Marana Northwest Regional Airport, Arizona, in a way consistent with the results of all investigations as soon as possible”; (2) the Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert O. Work did an excellent job reviewing the investigations of such mishap and concluded that there was a misrepresentation of facts by the media which incorrectly identified pilot error as the cause of the mishap which the Deputy Secretary publicly made known in March 2016; and (3) Congress is grateful for the successful conclusion to this tragic situation.
