Congressional investigators confirmed that up to 800 Lockheed Corp. documents relating to super-secret U.S. weapons programs, which may include the F-19 stealth fighter jet, are missing or have been falsified, staff aides said. The missing documents related to weapons projects known as “black programs”--so secret their cost is kept from Congress. Earlier this year, Lockheed corporate investigators told the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on investigations and oversight that internal company audits showed that up to 800 documents were missing.
