Most of the money the government spends
in Texas is spent in the Dallas Fort
Worth Metroplex.
So what do plan cuts in defense
budget mean to us?
Well, General Dynamics, massive Fort
Worth operation. The answer is not
much. Not until 1987.
That is, 99 percent
of everything God does is geared
toward the F-16.
But General Dynamics has a multiyear
contract with Uncle Sam, which guarantees
funding for the F-16 through 1987
after 1987.
That bridge will be crossed when Ghedi
and the government come to our area
as other large scale defense contractor
is LTV.
While most of God's work centers around
the F-16 LTV has a number
of defense programs in the works, but
if the flow of the federal dollars is
slowed, perhaps the program most apt
to suffer is that which has attracted the
most attention and controversy.
The B1 bomber.
The government has yet to strike a deal
with a company that will build the BE1
Rockwell International if and
when a deal is finalized.
LTV being one of Rockwells principal
subcontractors will share in
that multi-billion dollar pie.
Rockwell is hoping for a contract to
build 100 big ones.
But again, no deal yet.
