Gee, it's not often that I get to agree with Chris Dodd!

I am extremely uncomfortable with military gear being made by foreign conutries who may have no compunction against selling (or not selling) replacement parts, and even less about making the technology available to the CHiComs.

Unfortunately, Sikorsky's parent, United Technologies, is very cozy with the ChiComs as well.

I agree with you -- know someone who works for Lockmart and couldn't figure out how they got the contract -- that spoke volumes to me. Should have gone to the company that makes the helicopters not some overseas agrees with Lockmart!
