RES 1990-03TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS
WHEREAS, the V-22 Osprey tilt -rotor aircraft is a project
with potential for substantial commercial advantages for the
United States, as well as for the communities where this
technology is developed and constructed; and
WHEREAS, the V-22 represents the tangible results of a
continuing commitment to excellence in the providing of
equipment to our armed forces; and
WHEREAS, the V-22 program has produced not just a design
but an actual flying aircraft capable of meeting a vital need
to transport troops greater distances at greater speeds than
with helicopters, yet with a helicopter's flexibility to land
off airports; and
WHEREAS, the development of the V-22 by the military will
assist in developing technology which will be vital for civil
aviation as airports and skies become increasingly more crowded
with aircraft which need miles of concrete runways and long
approach paths; and
WHEREAS, an interruption of funding for existing
contracts for the development and construction of the V-22
aircraft may well cost us the acknowledged leadership role this
nation has garnered, not only in tilt -rotor design technology,
but in aviation exports, thus further debilitating the trade
balance with other countries.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS:
Section 1. THAT Congress be urged to reinstate full
funding for the V-22 aircraft program into the Defense budget
for the year 1990.
Section 2. THAT a copy of this Resolution be mailed to
the Honorable George W. Bush, President of the United States,
to United States Senators Lloyd Bentsen and Phil Gramm, the
Honorable Pete Geren, the Honorable Joe Barton, the Honorable
Dick Armey, the Honorable Martin Frost, U.S. Congressmen, and
the entire Texas Congressional delegation.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 17 day of April , 1990.
