MO HR1527

Urges the United States Congress to support continued production and full funding of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft program manufactured by Boeing in St. Louis and St. Charles.

Cites that thousands of Missouri employees and retirees contribute to the F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Growler programs, with hundreds of millions of dollars spent on materials from more than 900 Missouri suppliers in 2013.

Notes that a multi-year procurement of F/A-18E/F aircraft beginning in 2010 through 2014 saved taxpayers over $818 million and that every aircraft has been delivered on time and at cost.

Argues that limiting production would increase costs, create adverse economic impact to Missouri, and cause a shortfall of capable aircraft for the United States Navy.

Directs the Chief Clerk to send inscribed copies of the resolution to the President, Senate President, House Speaker, and all Missouri Congressional delegation members.
