Gates to oversee disputed Air Force tanker deal
Defense Secretary Robert Gates will oversee the $35 billion tanker contract after a GAO report criticizes Air Force bidding. The GAO found unequal evaluation, prejudicial credit to Northrop/EADS, and no pre set size requirements, prompting a possible new competition and Gates involvement in any next decision. Boeing protested earlier, and the Northrop/EADS selection faces renewed scrutiny.
