May 17, 2010
Press Release
(Washington, DC) - Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) signed on to support the Fair Defense Competition Act sponsored by Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-KS). This bi-cameral legislation will require the Department of Defense (DOD) to consider World Trade Organization (WTO) decisions for military acquisitions.

Applied to both foreign and domestic companies, this legislation would help level the playing field for American workers by requiring the Pentagon to add the cost of illegal subsidies onto the bid proposal - pursuant to a ruling by the WTO.
