Charles testified about a $541 million deal for 23 more Lockheed planes. Proxmire pressed on Fitzgerald status and a memo from Lang outlining three removal paths, with one option deemed unlikely by Lang. Charles refused to say the memo proves Air Force aims to fire Fitzgerald, calling the wording unfortunate. The overrun on 58 planes was stated as $882 million rather than $2 billion.
