02.01.10
WASHINGTON, DC -- Senator Joseph I. Lieberman (ID-CT) today applauded the decision by the Obama administration to sell sixty UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters to Taiwan. The helicopters, which are built by Sikorsky in Stratford, Connecticut, are valued at $3.1 billion and are part of a larger $6.392 billion package of defense articles that the Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced today.
“I applaud the administration’s decision to sell these Black Hawk helicopters and other articles to Taiwan,” Lieberman said. “Connecticut workers have always played a proud role in the arsenal of democracy, and this is the type of work for our allies and friends that helps to defend freedom worldwide.”
