(Washington, D.C.) Congressman Chris Deluzio (PA-17) led five of his colleagues last week in the Pennsylvania congressional delegation in a letter to Assistant Secretary of the Air Force Michael J. Borders to request that the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) base the new 33rd Combat Communications Squadron at the Pittsburgh Air Reserve Station in Moon Township.

Senators Dave McCormick (R-PA) and John Fetterman (D-PA), as well as Congressmembers Mike Kelly (PA-16), Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14), and Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06) signed the letter to Assistant Secretary Borders. 

The lawmakers argued that the Air Force Reserve Command would benefit from the abundance of institutions for education, companies that are cutting-edge and technical talent in Western Pennsylvania.
