Laptop Battery Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has sharply limited the information he is willing to let Congress see on a controversial defense contract that is the focus of multiple investigations.
The documents released by Senator John McCain and reported on by U.S. News and World Report (see www.usnews.com) orchestrated effort between the Air Force and Boeing effort to promote the deal. The Air Force is "desperately looking for the rationale for why the USAF should pursue the 767 Tanker now, " wrote a Boeing executive in a September, 2002 email included in the packet of documents.
Thinkpad Rumsfeld took a hard line even with fellow Republicans who want information from him about a proposed $23 billion deal for the Air Force to buy and lease 100 Boeing 767 aerial refueling tankers.

In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Electronics The Boeing deal, which for a time looked like it was heading for a fast passage through Congress, descended into scandal when it was revealed that the Air Force's chief negotiator with Boeing on the deal, Darleen Druyun, also had negotiated a vice president's job for herself with the aircraft manufacturer. Druyun last month pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy charges, and a grand jury in northern Virginia is investigating.
