Gonzalez urges repairs to C5A over new Boeing 747s
U S Representative Henry B Gonzalez told the House that fixing the C5A may cost more but is preferable to buying new Boeing 747 cargo planes. He argued a formidable military requires repairs despite cost, criticizing Senator Proxmire for prioritizing expenses over military needs. The move centers on funds for C5A repair at Kelly Air Force Base with a 1976 design contract and testing budget of 22 million and a 10 million allocation for the June–Sept quarter, with 38 million to start repairs in fiscal 1977.
