Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) urged the head of the Federal Aviation Administration on June 3 to require Boeing’s transparency and accountability in its 90-day quality plan with the aerospace manufacturer.

Ms. Duckworth, the chair of the Senate subcommittee on aviation, said the company’s “safety and quality assurances will be meaningless without appropriate transparency and accountability.”
