U.S. Reps. Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Walter Jones (R-NC) today sent the attached letter to President Obama urging him to authorize the declassification and release of the 2011 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Afghanistan.

-Recent media reports have detailed that the current National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Afghanistan recognizes that U.S. policy has not achieved the objectives you have stated for our nation in Afghanistan,- the letter says. -The American public and its elected representatives deserve to have a full understanding of the situation in and outlook for Afghanistan as understood by our government. Too many families of our service members are sacrificing too greatly to allow for anything else.-

Reps. McGovern and Jones have worked together frequently to change U.S. policy toward Afghanistan.

A copy of the letter is available below.
