Lockheed defies U.S. auditors amid bribery probes
Washington reports Lockheed Corp. faced government scrutiny over alleged excess profits on Pentagon contracts and misused funds. DCAA found about 83 million dollars in improper profits for 1972, plus 36.6 million in questionable charges and nearly 2 million in unusual overhead costs. Internal memos show officials resisted DCAA access, favoring the Renegotiation Board. Legislative moves to expand DCAA oversight sparked internal opposition within Lockheed, with June 30 cited as a deadline. The piece also highlights a separate GAO finding on the Army GOER aquatic truck, criticizing numerous design flaws, maintenance issues, and dangerous operating conditions.
