Between October 15 and 21, 2006: Weapons Industry and Conservative Think Tank Discuss Plans to Push for Relaxation of Arms Export Regulations

The Aerospace Industries Association, along with representatives from the Boeing Company and the Northrop Grumman Corporation, meet with researchers at the Heritage Foundation to discuss plans to relax arms exporting rules so the industry can increase its sales of weapons to foreign countries.
