Pentagon Reverses Rumsfeld's Decision to Kill Lockheed C-130J
U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England has reversed the decision to production of the C-130J next year.

England added $2.6 billion to the Air Force fiscal 2008-2013 budget plan to purchase 30 C-130Js for the Marine Corps and Air Force, starting with six in 2009.

This will allow Lockheed Martin's Marietta, Georgia production line to remain open beyond 2009.
