GAO denies conflict of interest in aerial tanker competition
Noting that employees of the Government Accountability Office belong to a union that includes some Boeing workers, a defense analyst suggested that the GAO could have a conflict of interest if asked to rule again on the Air Force's aerial tanker competition. But the GAO denied the suggestion, and final bidding terms are expected to be released soon. Boeing, Northrop Grumman Corp. and Airbus parent EADS are competing on the project in a deal worth up to $35 billion.
