LO,

Yes, almost certainly. Which given the GOP majority in the House makes the choice of assembly plant in Alabama look astute - GE engines are also assembled all over the place.

Years ago I recall being told that the Space Station was uncancellable on this basis - NASA had Space Station contracts in 433 of 435 Congressional Districts and all 50 States. Value for money was the key driver for each contract, no doubt...
