Armed Services Chairman Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) praised
Wednesday’s bipartisan vote for signaling the need to avoid the
sequester. But he also put the blame for the lack of a deal squarely on
the White House’s shoulders, saying the administration has provided no
guidance to Congress or the defense industry on how to deal with the
looming cuts under sequestration.
“My fear is that [White House] guidance will come much too late,”
said McKeon, who argued industry executives learned little from a June
meeting on sequestration with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
