Of equal importance is the need to support our commercial and military industrial base in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The provision included in the fiscal year 2002 Defense Appropriations bill will allow the Air Force to meet a pressing military need and ensure continued, strong demand for the Boeing 767 aircraft. In this regard, it is my understanding that the provision included in the bill permits the leasing of up to 100 purpose Boeing 767 aircraft in a commercial configuration for up to 10 years. Is that correct?
