Re: Request Investigation and Resignation of Boeing CEO for Ethics Violations

Dear Board Members:

I am writing this letter to ask that you call for the resignation of the CEO, Mr. James W. McNerney Jr., for his failure to enforce company ethics policies throughout the Boeing Company. As you know, Mr. McNerney testified before the Armed Forces Committee on August 1, 2006 stating that he would do everything in his power to ensure that the criminal and unethical acts that brought dishonor upon the Boeing Company and harmed the Government of the United States would never happen again.

In Mr. McNerney's testimony before the Congressional Committee, he stated that "the companies doing business with the U.S. Government are expected to adhere to the highest legal and ethical standards." He also stated that ethics and compliance would become a part of the company's leadership agenda and that Boeing leaders would be held accountable under a newly created office of "Internal Governance" which would report directly to him.

I reported to Mr. McNerney in June of 2009 that I believed that the Boeing Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Boeing International Support Systems, Saudi Arabia (BISS) had violated my rights through fraudulent recruiting practices and engaged in the unlawful acts of U.S. Passport Confiscation and False Imprisonment. Having knowledge of the information he took no action against those who violated my rights and engaged in this criminal activity. Instead of owning up to this wrongdoing and taking immediate corrective action in defense of a Boeing employee, Mr. McNerney chose to hire a team of lawyers to use a "Forum Selection Clause" to shield himself and the company from any potential liability.

A decision in favor of the Boeing Company based on "Improper Forum Selection" does not preclude the failure of this CEO to recognize the illegal and unethical activities that took place. It only serves to further damage your company which claims to "pride" itself on a history of reliability, honesty, and unquestioned integrity.

Upon a review of the facts I would ask that the Board of Directors call for Mr. McNerney's resignation.

Sincerely,



Robin Petersen
Boeing Share Holder
