The question of ITAR with respect to the $4.9 billion, 17 tactical lift planes.... Why was that not resolved before a decision was made? I understand from the newspapers that a decision has been made. That's an issue that falls squarely within your jurisdiction rather than with Public Works. I'd like to know why it wasn't paid any attention to. It's a very serious issue. It may end up in violation of our charter. It may result in our not being able to do maintenance in our country.
