Congress Lobbies for Boeing C-17
Members of the U.S. House and the Senate sent separate letters to President Bush urging him to acquire more C-17s.

The House letter included signatures from 148 members. The Senate letter included signatures from 13 senators.

The Senate voted 89 to 8 last month for a nonbinding amendment to the defense spending bill calling for the Air Force to acquire 42 more C-17s.
