Obama Statement on the GAO Report on Air Force Tanker Award

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Michael Ortiz, 202 228 5666

WASHINGTON, D.C. - "Senator Obama applauds the GAO's recommendation to reopen the competition for the Air Force tanker award. This contract will be the second largest military procurement contract in history, and has enormous implications for our national security and economy. Given the stakes involved and the strong concerns raised in the GAO report, Senator Obama believes that this competition must be reopened to ensure a fair and transparent process that fully considers the needs of America's military and our workforce."
