Air Force Logs of Correspondence

We received

a

response from the Air Force yesterday for the congressional correspondence

log

s

, both for our

first

request, for logs in

January and February

,

and the second

,

for

March

.

After reading the list,

I

emailed the Air Force and

asked for copies of

some of

the letters and responses for some

on

the list.

O

n the March list, there

a bunch of

letters written by

members of

Congress to the Secretary of the Air Force regarding the CSAR-X contract given to Boeing. (Th

at's the

same issue that McCain wrote

the Air Force

about

.

) Although it is unclear what the letters

actually say

from the subject line

in

the logs, it's interesting to note that these letters were written after the initial GAO report

about

th

e

Boeing contract, but before Senator McCain asked for documents regarding the contract.

I'm

also

trying to get copies of these letters from various

members

' offices.

Update May, 11 :

Here's

a copy of the letter written to the Air Force in response to comments from the Air Force Secretary.
