Rep. Hunter says Defense offset deals harm U.S

Article Abstract:

U.S. defense contractors, suppliers and workers suffer seriously when some nations buy American weapons only when a part of their work is done in those nations under the so-called offset agreements. According to Rep. Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, this is happening due to the laws enacted by the Congress, which must be changed, to stop business opportunities and technology from getting transferred to foreign countries.
