Boeing Overstate
Contract Costs,
Comptroller Says
Washington - (LTD - Comp
troller General Joseph Camp
bell said Wednesday that Boe
ing Airplane company over
stated target costs on an Air
Force contract by $5,022,465.
Campbell said in a report
to Congress that unless fur
ther adjustment of the prices
is made "the government will
incur excessive costs which
we estimate will amount to
about $1,211,530."
On Spare Parlt
The latest report Involving
Boeing revolved around ne
gotiation of a target price on
spare parts for B52 airplanes
manufactured by Boeing as
prime contractor with the Air
Force.
Boeing has made a general
denial of the conclusions of
the General Accounting Of
fice headed by Campbell.
Seeks Restitution
Chairman F. Edward He
bert (D-La.) of the House
Armed Services Committee
for Special Investigations said
in a statement the committee
would work toward "full and
complete restitution ... to
the government."
The CAO report said pro
posed target prices submitted
by Boeing and accepted by
the Air Force for the spare
parts "contained estimated
subcontract costs which were
higher than prices established
by Boeing with its subcon
tractors before the target
prices were submitted."
Costs Excessive
"Boeing did not disclose to
the Air Force and the Air
Force did not obtain and con
aider the information on the
lower subcontract prices
which was known to the con
tractor at the time the price
proposals were submitted,"
the report said. "As a result
of using higher estimated sub
contract costs, target costs for
these spare parts were exces
sive by about $5,022,465."
The Air Force is reviewing
the case, according to Campbell.
