Secretary Rice makes his decision
Secretary Rice delayed his opinion and conclusion until he was leaving office at the end of 1992. Secretary Rice made the decision, dated 11 January 1993, that the award of half credit to Lanphier and Barber should not be changed. General McPeak, who was the Air Force Chief of Staff at that time, has said that the decision in 1992/1993 was reached by Secretary Rice, not on the merits of the case, but because the Air Staff decided that “too much time had passed, and there was no use trying to change history.”
