White House Issues Veto Threat on F-22 Funding
Travis | Jun 24, 2009 |
0 Wow! The White House comes out swinging:
F-22 Advance Procurement: The Administration strongly objects to the provisions in the bill authorizing $369 million in advanced procurement funds for F-22s in FY 2011. The collective judgment of the Service Chiefs and Secretaries of the military departments suggests that a final program of record of 187 F-22s is sufficient to meet operational requirements. If the final bill presented to the President contains this provision, the President's senior advisors would recommend a veto.
It’s too late for the House to remove the F-22 money now because the Rules Committee didn’t allow Barney Frank’s amendment to come up for a vote. But this statement of administration policy (SAP) may affect things down the road.
