Senate Backs Obama, Defunds Jet Engine Project - Political News - FOXNews.com: "For the second time in three days, the U.S. Senate went along with the Obama administration's efforts to change the way the Pentagon funds its warfighting programs by stopping funding for an extra jet engine for a next-generation jet fighter.
The Senate voice-voted Thursday to remove $439 million that was set aside to develop an alternate engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter from a $680 billion defense budget bill.
This comes two days after the Senate agreed to take out $1.75 billion for new production of the F-22 fighter, which is being phased out as the F-35 becomes the military's prime attack plane."
