CNN —A group of retired ambassadors, all of whom served as chief of mission at the US Embassy in Afghanistan, have written a letter to congressional leaders pushing them to include the Afghan Adjustment Act in the omnibus spending bill.

Neumann, William Wood, Earl Anthony Wayne, James Cunningham, P. Michael McKinley, Hugo Llorens and Ross Wilson write in the letter being sent Wednesday evening. The letter, organized by AfghanEvac’s Shawn vanDiver and former ambassador Phil Kosnett, stands as a push from respected leaders and experts on Afghanistan that passing the bill is essential to meeting the United States’ obligations.

The discovery is one of the biggest pieces of the spacecraft ever found, said Michael Ciannilli, a NASA official. It disintegrated 46,000 feet above the ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida. She had been selected as the primary candidate for the NASA Teacher in Space Project in July 1985.
