Senators Demand Military Documents
- Share via
U.S. senators demanded that the Pentagon hand over internal e-mails about a $27.6-billion deal to lease and buy Boeing Co. 767s, saying Congress needed the documents to properly oversee the military.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner (R-Va.) told Air Force Secretary James Roche the issue needed to be resolved, especially because Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was blocking confirmation of civilian nominees for Pentagon jobs in the meantime.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) raised the subject with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld at a breakfast meeting, aides said.
