WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Navy acted in accordance with "current U.S. Law and Navy Regulations and policy" in its response to the disappearance and death of Seaman Angelina Resendiz in late May/early June, according to a letter from Secretary of the Navy John Phelan sent to Texas Rep. Vicente Gonzalez obtained by WTKR News 3.

Questions have been raised by congressional leaders from Texas, where Resendiz was from, and in Virginia, where she was stationed, about the Navy's actions following her disappearance on May 29.

The letter, dated Sept. 2, was sent to Gonzalez's office in response to a July 10 inquiry.
