Boeing chief: Tanker deal 'not dead'

Article Abstract:

Boeing's chief executive reported that a controversial plan to supply aerial refueling tankers to the Air Force is still on life support, and unlikely to be revived. Boeing received heartening news after the National Defense University (BDU), one of four government bodies charged with studying the KC-767 deal, concluded that replacing the tanker fleet was urgent.
