Moran Statement On Tanker Bid Extension

Statement

Congressman Jerry Moran issued the following statement after the Department of Defense announced it will extend its deadline by 60 days for bids in the tanker replacement competition.

"I am deeply disappointed in the Pentagon's decision to further extend its deadline. This bidding process has already taken eight years and tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. As I recently communicated to the Department of Defense, replacing the Eisenhower-era tanker fleet is essential for the security of our country and the safety of our troops and America cannot afford another decade of delay," said Moran.
