Gov. Bob Riley will hold a press conference Friday about the Air Force Tanker Contract, according to his Press Office.
Riley will be joined by officials from Northrop Grumman, members of Alabama's Congressional delegation and Mobile city and county officials to discuss the $40 billion contract that was awarded to the Mobile-based company.
Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi's ears will likely be on fire during the 2 p.m. press conference because of her call for congressional hearings on the awarding of the contract.
Democratic Lt. Gov. Jim Folsom and members of the State Democratic Senate Caucus have already blasted Pelosi this week over the congressional hearings into a deal that could create more than 2,000 jobs in the state.
U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Mobile, and U.S. Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Mobile, are expected to be on hand.
