Darlene Hooley gets national media coverage

From the Salem Statesman Journal:

U.S. Rep. Darlene Hooley, D-Ore., and Brig. Gen. Raymond Byrne, adjutant general of the Oregon National Guard, will appear on a "60 Minutes" segment tonight about under-equipped U.S. troops fighting in Iraq.

Hooley to appear in '60 Minutes' segment about troops

Hooley has spent time working on legislation to improve communication and cooperation among full-time Army personnel and Reserve and Guard units, and she has met several times with soldiers and their families to discuss issues.

Hooley and Byrne were filmed in September by a CBS crew while traveling to visit Oregon National Guard soldiers on medical hold at Fort Hood, Texas.

Hooley also was interviewed in her Washington, D.C., office for the report.

Tonight's "60 Minutes" segment will include interviews with U.S. troops, including National Guard troops, regarding improvised explosive devices, insurgent attacks and the shortage of armor and other protective gear.

Hooley is seeking a fifth term in Congress as the representative for Oregon's 5th Congressional District.
That sounds like a great piece, so make sure not to miss it.
