I'll post this, since I need help resolving the exact reference. 

In a previous life I remembered seeing a book-sized report that might help.
I made a call and got some more info, but can't tell you where to get a copy 
or if an update exists. All the info I have follows:

	Ada & C++: Business Case Analysis
	July 1991
	Produced by: Deputy Assistant of the USAF: Communications, Computers, a
nd 
		Logistics

I can tell you that the conclusion was that their is no reason why C++ should
be used over Ada. NO FLAMES PLEASE, I am just the messenger. Read the report
and draw your own conclusions! My opinion on the results I keep to myself for
religious reasons...

Good luck, hope this helps.
