GM Denies Excess Profit on Air Force Jet Contract
General Motors Corp denied to Congress yesterday that it reaped excessive profit on a 344 million Air Force contract to build 582 F gauge jet fighters. Vice President John F Gordon told the Armed Services Subcommittee the pretax profit was 11.2 percent and 14 percent after taxes, calling it fair and reasonable and below typical government contracting margins. Comptroller General Joseph Campbell cited an audit showing 17.5 million in excess profits, which GM said was a misinterpretation of price adjustments under a fixed price contract with postproduction price re-determinations.
