Washington DC<\/strong> \u2013 Hoy, el senador Merkley se uni\u00f3 a 57 miembros en
\neliminar la financiaci\u00f3n para el programa F-22 de la Autorizaci\u00f3n de Defensa Nacional
\nActo. La financiaci\u00f3n habr\u00eda ascendido a $1.750 millones que se utilizar\u00edan para
\nconstruir siete aviones adicionales.<\/p>\n

El senador Merkley emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n sobre la votaci\u00f3n:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cA medida que se acercaba esta votaci\u00f3n,
\nsopes\u00f3 cuidadosamente los argumentos a favor y en contra de la
\nprograma. Al final, descubr\u00ed que el programa de adquisici\u00f3n del F-22 no era
\nya no sirve a nuestras necesidades de seguridad nacional y debe terminarse para que podamos dirigir
\nnuestro gasto en defensa a sistemas de misi\u00f3n cr\u00edtica.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDos argumentos clave surgieron en apoyo
\nde continuar con el F-22: su relaci\u00f3n con los empleos en Oreg\u00f3n y su potencial
\nrelaci\u00f3n con la Guardia Nacional A\u00e9rea de Oregon. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAl mismo tiempo, una convincente
\nSe present\u00f3 un argumento en contra del programa. Cualquier gasto en armas debe
\nservir a nuestras necesidades de seguridad nacional. Seg\u00fan este criterio clave, el F-22 cae
\ncorto. El presidente Obama, el secretario de Defensa, Robert Gates, el presidente de
\nel Estado Mayor Conjunto, el almirante Michael Mullen, secretario de la Fuerza A\u00e9rea
\nMichael Donley y el Jefe de Estado Mayor de la Fuerza A\u00e9rea, general Norton Schwartz.
\nconcluy\u00f3 por unanimidad que deb\u00eda cesar su producci\u00f3n. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cEl avi\u00f3n nunca ha sido desplegado
\nen Irak o Afganist\u00e1n; nunca ha alcanzado su tasa de capacidad de misi\u00f3n objetivo;
\ny los sobrecostos hacen que la producci\u00f3n continua por avi\u00f3n sea m\u00e1s costosa que la de
\nF-35 de pr\u00f3xima generaci\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSin embargo, hay otros factores
\neso tambi\u00e9n debe abordarse. Varias piezas del F-22 se fabrican en Oreg\u00f3n.
\ny hay un argumento para apoyar la financiaci\u00f3n de la producci\u00f3n del F-22 para
\nproteger los empleos actuales. Por otro lado, la Fuerza A\u00e9rea espera aumentar
\nproducci\u00f3n del F-35 y Oregon tiene todas las expectativas de obtener una igual o
\nuna mejor proporci\u00f3n de los contratos para producir piezas para el F-35. Mientras tanto nosotros
\nSer\u00eda conseguir un mejor luchador a un coste menor. Adem\u00e1s, tenemos que
\nexaminar cuidadosamente si los fondos gastados en el F-22 ser\u00edan mejor gastados en otros
\nsistemas de armas u otras prioridades nacionales (como infraestructura
\nmejora o el desarrollo de energ\u00edas limpias) que se traducir\u00eda en empleo
\ncreaci\u00f3n. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOtro argumento importante a favor
\nadquirir cazas F-22 adicionales es que estos cazas eventualmente podr\u00edan obtener
\nasignado a unidades de la Guardia Nacional A\u00e9rea, incluida la unidad desplegada en
\nPortland. Sin embargo, para lograr esta visi\u00f3n se necesitar\u00edan otros 60 aviones.
\nrequerido a un costo de $15-20 mil millones. Independientemente de las perspectivas de este
\nCon la modificaci\u00f3n del a\u00f1o pasado, esta contrataci\u00f3n adicional es extremadamente improbable. Y
\nNinguno de los siete aviones producidos este a\u00f1o bajo la defensa no modificada.
\nEl proyecto de ley de autorizaci\u00f3n se asignar\u00eda a Oregon. Es una mejor apuesta
\nperseguir el F-35 como un eventual reemplazo de los viejos cazas F-15 con base en
\nOreg\u00f3n.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSiempre es tentador continuar
\nprogramas actuales de adquisici\u00f3n de armas. Pero cuando nuestro m\u00e1ximo responsable de seguridad nacional
\nLos asesores, incluidos los l\u00edderes del Pent\u00e1gono y la Fuerza A\u00e9rea, argumentan que
\nnuestra seguridad nacional se beneficia mejor poniendo fin a un programa e invirtiendo en
\nnuevos programas, debemos escuchar con atenci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
