Bid to retire U-2s halted
The House Armed Services Committee has blocked a bid by the USAF to start retiring the U-2 in 2007, but did agree to allow the retirement of up to 10 F-117A stealth fighters.

The bill prohibits the retirement of the U-2 until the Pentagon certifies there would not be a gap in intelligence capabilities.
