Dear Mr. Chairman,

I write to respond to your letter of January 20, 2016, regarding the retirement grade
determination of General David Petraeus.

As you know, the Army completed its review of his case and recommended no additional
action. Given the Army review, Secretary Carter considers this matter closed.

Sincerely,

Stephen C. Hedger
