Welcome to The Senate Site

This op-ed, written by Senator Ed Mayne, was published in yesterday's Spectrum:

Airbus Attempts to Cheat

" . . . a high stakes competition between Boeing and French aerospace company Airbus, who are both vying to win a critical defense contract worth more than $40 billion for building aircraft that refuel our Air Force planes in mid-flight.

"There's a lot riding on this contract, including thousands of good-paying American jobs to build the Air Force's next fleet of refueling tanker planes - critical support aircraft for U.S. troops spread across the world. But Airbus is playing the game with a sleight of hand . . . . If the scheme works, we could lose thousands of jobs as a result, and put a critical defense item under foreign control."
