WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The following is a
statement of Randy Belote, Northrop Grumman Vice President,
Corporate & International Communications, concerning today's
release of a draft Request For Proposals for the next generation of
aerial refueling tankers. "Northrop Grumman applauds the Defense
Department for recognizing the urgency of replacing the
Eisenhower-era refueling tankers via a thorough yet speedy revised
acquisition process. We are reviewing the draft RFP with an eye
toward ensuring that it addresses the issues raised by the GAO in a
way that facilitates a fair and non-political evaluation of the
competing bids. It is vital that this effort leads to the selection
of the aerial refueling tanker that provides the most capability to
our men and women in uniform at the best value to the American
taxpayer. "We intend to provide the Department of Defense our
comments on the draft in short order." DATASOURCE: Northrop Grumman
