Several Democratic senators asked the Bush administration yesterday to verify the claims of a European-led consortium that it would create 48,000 U.S.-based jobs by building a fleet of Air Force tankers.
"We are troubled by the inconsistent job projections" made by Airbus and its partner, the Northrop Grumman Corp., "and have questions about what types of jobs will be created in the United States," wrote Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray of Washington, Ron Wyden of Oregon, and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan.
