Witnesses testified about mismanagement at Arlington National Cemetery. According to an Army report, as many as 6,600 graves were misidentified, improperly marked, or indicated personnel were buried in the wrong graves due to bad record keeping. John Metzler in his testimony said he took "full responsibility" for the problems but rebutted some of the findings in the Army report. Thurman Higginbotham left the hearing early after asserting his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to several questions.
