The General Accounting Office concluded that there is no way the Air Force could possibly use all the C-130 cargo planes Congress was supplying it with, and that many fully functioning planes would have to be retired from service just to make room for more. Lockheed makes the planes in House Speaker Newt Gingrich's (R-GA) district and sends them to such places as an Air Guard unit in Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott's (R-MS) district.
