KC-X tanker split buy not in 2009 wartime supplemental spending bill
Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee chairman, John Murtha, won't be adding language to the fiscal 2009 wartime supplemental spending bill that would require the Air Force to split the KC-X tanker contract between the two competitors.
Sources say the White House asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to persuade Mr. Murtha to back down.
