Procurement of Air Force F-22 fighters began in FY1999, and a total of 187 have been procured through FY2009. The issue for Congress is whether to approve the Administration's proposal in the FY2010 budget to end F-22 procurement at 187 aircraft, or reject that proposal and provide funding in FY2010 for the procurement of additional F-22s in FY2010 and/or subsequent years. The White House has vowed to veto any bill that supports the acquisition of F-22s beyond the 187 that have been procured through FY2009.
