The bidding process as it is now...if an American enitity bids $100 and a foreign entity bids $99 we need to add a factor of how much benefit the deal is to this country. Maybe they decide it's 10%. That would make the $100 bid the lower bid all things considered.


Allowing a foreign company to bid on this, is really no different than puting your job on world wide bidding process, based on the lowest wage. Only problem is the standard of living in Mexico, Russia etc is much lower. If Gruman wasnt big enough to build the plane too bad. Perhaps the lockheed Douglas / Boeing merger should have been denied.
