Lawmaker questions F-16 sale to Pakistan
U.S. Democratic Congressman Tom Lantos of California has asked the Bush administration to withdraw its offer to sell F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan.
He said that he and other lawmakers are worried that China, which has close military ties with Pakistan, might gain access to F-16 technology.
His action apparently led to the postponement of a congressional hearing yesterday to examine the jet sale. The hearing will begin next week.
