      RECOGNIZING MISSISSIPPI SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 667

                                 ______
                                 

                   HON. CHARLES W. ``CHIP'' PICKERING

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 13, 2008

  Mr. PICKERING. Madam Speaker, today I submit into the Record 
Concurrent Resolution No. 667 adopted by the Mississippi Senate and 
House of Representatives. The resolution urges the United States 
Congress to accept the decision of the United States Air Force 
concerning the award of the jet tanker contract to Northrop Grumman 
Corporation and EADS North America. Each day we delay approving this 
contract, we prevent the Air Force men and women from receiving the 
equipment necessary to ensure our national security. I encourage my 
colleagues to review this resolution.

                          ____________________
