Summary

Declares that any disapproval by the European Commission of the merger of the Boeing Company and McDonnell-Douglas would constitute an unwarranted and unprecedented interference in a U.S. business transaction that would directly threaten thousands of American aerospace jobs and potentially put many more jobs at risk on both sides of the Atlantic. Urges the President to take appropriate actions to protect U.S. interests.
