On the recordMay 27, 2010
During this time of record unemployment, granting a $35 billion contract to a company that has received over $5 billion in illegal subsidies, according to the WTO, makes no common sense. In the end, this is about what is fair for the American taxpayer, fair for companies. Tens of thousands of Boeing employees and suppliers throughout the U.S. have been affected by these continual subsidies provided by European governments that have put American workers at a disadvantage. I call on every Member of this House to support full and fair competition in the tanker program to support American workers.
