AL HJR241

Urges the United States Department of Defense to adopt a dual-source approach for awarding contracts related to the aerial refueling tanker project.

Single-source contract would create approximately 42,000 American jobs, while dual-source approach could create as many as 90,000 jobs.

Dual-source contract would allow Northrop Grumman Corporation and EADS to assemble tankers in Alabama, potentially serving as the state's foremost economic development project for 2010.

Identifies the project as vital to American national security and force projection priorities worldwide and notes the project has already experienced multi-year delays.

Directs that copies of the resolution be provided to the President of the United States, Secretary of Defense, and each member of Alabama's Congressional Delegation.
