Lawmakers swap tanker funds from Marines to Air Force

Article Abstract:

The House and Senate authorizers have cut majority of Marine Corps' fiscal 2006 funding request for new aerial refueling tankers. House and Senate versions of fiscal 2006 defense authorization bill have slashed the requested number of Marine Corps KC-130J tankers from 12 to 4, using the money to add nine Air Force C-130Js to the budget, but the Senate version of the legislation would add funds to sustain the Marines' existing tanker fleet.
