Gates opposes KC-X split, denies 5-year pause
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Wednesday reiterated his opposition to splitting the KC-X contract and denied reports that the White House had wanted to delay the program for five years.
"I think it's bad public policy and I think it's bad acquisition policy. It would require the Air Force to maintain two different logistics trains, two different kinds of training; everything would have to be duplicated in the support structure," Gates told reporters.
"And I just think it's a bad deal for taxpayers."
