WASHINGTON (AP)
— Is the B-2 bomber dead
or alive? It all depends on
whom you talk to in Con
gress.
Senate negotiators
who agreed on a 1991 de
fense bill Wednesday said
the package provides
enough money for the Air
Force to buy stealth
bombers No. 16 and No
17 — the same ones Presi
dent Bush proposed in
his budget.
But House bargainers
who adopted the $268
billion military blueprint
contend the legislation
does not authorize the
two radar-evading air
craft. effectively stopping
the program at 15 planes.
"They may claim that
they have taken the 2'
out of the B-2 and just left
the 'B'.*' said Sen. Sam
Nunn, D-Ga.. chairman of
the Senate Armed Ser
vices Committee and a B
2 proponent "The B-2
program is alive and
well "
