The Senate Armed Services Committee is expected to consider next Tuesday the nomination of Michael Wynne to become the Pentagon's undersecretary of Defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, a Senate aide said Wednesday.
Wynne, who is currently the Pentagon's acting acquisition chief, has come under scrutiny by Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., for his role in the Air Force's negotiation of a multibillion-dollar lease agreement with Boeing for 100 aerial refueling tankers, which has since been modified to 20 of the 767s to be leased and 80 purchased.
McCain, a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, called on Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in a Sept. 11 letter to hand over any e-mail exchanges and other records related to Wynne's role in winning support from top Defense Department officials for the Boeing lease. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz rebuffed McCain's request.
