White House threatens veto over F-22 and F136 funding
The White House is threatening to veto the 2010 defense authorization bill if Congress includes money for more F-22s and the alternate engine for the F-35.

"The administration strongly objects to the provisions in the bill authorizing $369 million in advanced procurement funds for F-22s in fiscal year 2011," a Statement of Administration Policy says.

Lawmakers however say they are expecting the White House to make that move and some have discounted the threat.
