Senator ends hold on Air Force chief nomination

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A Republican senator has ended his hold on the White House pick for Air Force chief of staff over the service's response to a widening sex scandal at a Texas base.

In a statement Thursday, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said he had met with Gen. Mark Welsh and was pleased with his commitment to investigate.

Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio is the site for basic training for all Air Force recruits. It has been rocked by scandal stemming from accusations of sexual assault.

Lackland has about 500 instructors for some 35,000 airmen who graduate every year. One in five recruits is female, while most instructors are male.
