Simply put, the legislation would ensure that the Navy can enter into a multiyear procurement contract for F/A-18E/F/G aircraft, which would save the Navy and taxpayers almost $600 million. The Navy plans to buy 124 of these aircraft between now and 2013. This bill would make no changes to the quantity to be procured.
