GAO Finds Cheney Erred On V-22 Tiltrotor Fund Cut
The GAO concluded Cheney violated the Budget Empowerment and Control Act and the Defense Authorization Act by scrapping the V-22 tiltrotor program funding. It warned the 1989 funds must be restarted through a new contract or a budget decision to the Armed Services Committee. Boeing and Bell Helicopters partnered on the project, with about 134 million remaining in 1989 advance procurement money. Rep. Curt Weldon and allies criticized the administration for an end run against the program.
