Congressman Mike Rogers said today he recently sent a letter to House Armed Services Chairman Ike Skelton (MO) requesting the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee hold an investigative hearing regarding the tragic shootings at Fort Hood, Texas.

The letter was sent after the November 5th shootings when thirteen deaths were confirmed and Major Nidal Malik Hasan was taken in to custody.

‘Numerous troubling questions have arisen in the wake of the tragedy including whether this was a terrorist-related event, if the Army or the Federal government had information that could have prevented this from happening, and what was the extent of the failure of the command structure to respond to potential warnings that MAJ Hasan exhibited,’ the letter stated.

The letter was signed by Congressman Rogers and sent on November 13, 2009.

Rogers is a Member of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee as well as a Member of the Agriculture Committee and Ranking Member on Homeland Security Subcommittee.
