Washington, D.C. - “I am pleased that the House rejected, on a bipartisan basis, a shortsighted amendment to eliminate funding for the Joint Strike Fighter,General Electric alternate engine. History shows that funding a competitive alternate engine will ultimately drive down costs, improve product quality and contractor responsiveness, drive technological innovation, and ensures that taxpayer dollars are not wasted.
Tonight’s vote saved jobs in Cincinnati and the Second Congressional District. But, it will ultimately save the American taxpayers billions of dollars while ensuring our pilots have the best equipment possible to carry out their missions.”
