  • A Closer Look at the Future Combat Systems Agreement with Boeing: a High Risk Program with a Higher Risk Agreement
    A Closer Look at the Future Combat Systems Agreement with Boeing: A High Risk Program with a Higher Risk Agreement Testimony Before the Subcommittee on Airland of the Senate Committee on Armed Services March 15, 2005 Kenneth F. Boehm Chairman National Legal and Policy Center 107 Park Washington Court Falls Church, VA 22046 www.nlpc.org 1 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for this opportunity to testify. My name is Ken Boehm and I serve as Chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC). My legal center promotes accountability in public life and has been critical of the actions of the Boeing Company during the recent series of defense procurement scandals. In October 2003, NLPC filed a complaint with the Defense Department’s Office of Inspector General detailing former Air Force official Darleen Druyun’s ties to Boeing through her daughter’s job with that company and the sale of her house to a Boeing official while she was overseeing significant acquisition matters for the Air Force involving Boeing.1 The complaint went on to question whether Druyun was negotiating for future employment with Boeing while she was representing the Air Force in multi-billion dollar business issues affecting Boeing contracts. The next day, the Wall Street Journal ran a front-page story on the NLPC complaint, “Air Force Ex-Official Had Ties to Boeing During Contract Talks,” and Boeing disingenuously told the media that Druyun was not working on the tanker deal as part of her employment for Boeing.2 The Air Force weighed in with an equally disingenuous statement to the effect that Druyun had recused herself from decisions affecting Boeing but declined to specify when Druyun had recused herself.
