Political Quotes

“I especially want to applaud the efforts of Norm Dicks and the hard work that he's done not only on the Defense appropriations subcommittee but throughout his career protecting American technology and workforce. This was a great victory today for the American workforce. So many of our jobs here, the critical mass of highly trained, highly skilled workers that reside here in this country don't know what a great favor was done today by GAO. This is a rare occurrence that this happens. But the case that was made by Boeing, that was carried out by Mr. Dicks and the committee, was so compelling, and the misdirection and information so badly flawed that Boeing was given, that the GAO overturned that decision. The Air Force has 60 days to respond, but let us hope that we can come together and follow the leadership of Mr. Dicks and get those tankers built here in this country.”
