GM Seeks to Justify F4F Jet Contract Profits
GM vice president John F. Gordon told a House subcommittee the profit on a $43.96 million Air Force F4F jet contract was substantially below GM’s non government profit. He said there was no legal or moral duty to refund $17.46 million excess profits cited by the Comptroller General. He asserted the 11.3 percent pre tax and 5.4 percent post tax returns were fair and that the 8 percent figure cited by critics was for pricing, not guaranteed profit.
