Former Secretary of State Dean Acheson told a House Senate subcommittee that tying defense costs to foreign policy threats risks weakening national security. He rejected the military industrial complex label as harmful and urged Congress to avoid underspending on U S defense despite budget pressures.
A House Senate subcommittee hearing exposed steep cost overruns in the U S military program. Submarine rescue vehicles rose from 3 million to 80 million each, missiles like Minuteman II and the C 5A transport faced multi billion overages, with GAO and critics arguing early warning signs were missed.
A former Air Force consultant testifies to a $3.7 billion rise in Minuteman II costs while critics say cost reductions face entrenched opposition. Lawmakers note government allowances for higher charges during slack periods and accuse manufacturers of influence.
Witnesses dispute whether the Air Force must buy the second batch of 58 C-5A aircraft beyond the 57 already contracted. The Pentagon says no obligation. Lockheed argues yes. Lawmakers warn about fairness to taxpayers as the program’s price climbs to about $3.92 billion for 115 planes and engines, well above the 1965 target.
