I wonder if you are aware that US Congress passed a resolution in 1999 and
requested full exonoration of Kimmel.

Just to set the record straight, it wasn't a resolution.....it was in May 2000,
and it was an amendment to the 2001 Defense Bill that requested that both Adm
Kimmel and Gen. Short be advanced posthumously on the promotion list to their
highest respective grades in which they had served. It was passed unanimously,
but President Clinton declined to sign it. It was again presented the following
year, but President Bush also declined to sign it. No reason was given in both
cases.
