WASHINGTON, DC-- Ms. Norma C. Nicolls, former assistant to M. Larry Lawrence, testifies before the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations regarding the Arlington National Cemetery burial waiver issue. Mr. Lawrence was buried in Arlington National Cemetery in 1996, after serving as ambassador to Switzerland. Last December, the Lawrence family asked that his body be disinterred after the Subcommittee determined that Mr. Lawrence's name did not appear as having served as a Merchant Marine in at least three locations where such records would be expected to be found.
