l’enqu\u00eate du GAO<\/a> sur l’affaire, \u00e0 la suite de la plainte de Boeing, pour voir relanc\u00e9e de fa\u00e7on approfondie et suivie la pol\u00e9mique.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abMeanwhile, congressional supporters of Boeing are challenging the Air Force decision on several fronts, claiming the service changed the specifications in the middle of the competition; the Air Force did not take the threat to domestic jobs and the U.S. industrial base into consideration; and that the contract award contradicts U.S. policy in the ongoing World Trade Organization dispute, where Boeing and the Bush administration claim Airbus’s development of its newest airliners was unfairly subsidized by European governments. It seems the administration is on a collision course with itself, says Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.), noting that the U.S. trade representative is arguing that Airbus’s subsidies are illegal while the U.S. Air Force is buying tankers from the same company.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIt’s unclear whether the rising tide of Boeing support will create enough pressure to block or alter the tanker deal. Lawmakerspro, con and neutralare likely to hear new arguments in their home states during Congress’s current two-week spring recess.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbI think all of our options are on the table, says Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), who is leading the charge against the deal in the Senate. Murtha hinted his panel might block the funding for the aircraft if the Air Force doesn’t satisfy members’ concerns about jobs, the industrial base and outsourcing such a massive contract. Murray says she doesn’t want to take anything off or put anything on without looking at all of the answers to all of our questions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbSen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), chairman of the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee, says the Boeing protest and the ensuing Government Accountability Office review should be allowed to run its course first.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
