Leaders of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee have called for a review of how U.S. aviation regulators oversaw Boeing Co.’s troubled 787 program.
A letter signed by the top Democrat and Republican on the committee was sent Thursday to the Transportation Department’s Inspector General, the committee announced on Friday.
