	With what looks like the impending rejection of the B-2 by Congress,
what would happen to Northrop if no order is placed. How much of its own money
has Northrop invested? With the failure of the F-20 program (political, not
technical) and if the B-2 fails, will Northrop go out of business? I'd hate
to see Congress force a defense contractor out of business by making promises
and backing out at the last moment.
	This probably doesn't belong in sci.military so please reply by
E-mail only to willey@arrakis.NEVADA.EDU.
Thanks. :-}

[mod.note:  I disagree, obviously.  At least, the impact upon Northrop,
and therefore, military research in general, is quite appropriate here.
