Naval Officials Cited in Probe of Warplane Contract
Washington AP Navy officials faced questions over an outdated performance chart used in a Senate probe of the TFX warplane bid.

McClellan cited a later letter showing Boeing adjustments nullified the chart’s claims. Aboard controversy and misfiled testimony prompted admission of an inadvertent slipup.
