Aspin slams Chrysler over army tank profits
Rep. Les Aspin charged Chrysler Corp. could reap a 114000 percent profit on a 1975 army tank contract, claiming $25 million on a $22000 investment due to army owned plant risk. Chrysler countered that defense contracting carries huge risk and management costs, while Aspin noted bids and pricing were challenged by the army and questioned past price hikes. On this date in 1971, Nixon ordered a 90 day wage price and rent freeze.
