Pentagon Orders Northrop to Detail Contract Expenses

The Pentagon told Northrop Corp to provide detailed reports on expenses charged to government defense contracts. Air Force spokesman Joseph Laitin said Northrop’s authority to omit overhead details is being revoked amid probes into alleged improper costs such as entertainment and gifts for defense personnel. The move follows Congress scrutiny and a call to uncover any misconduct by major contractors. Laitin said top defense firms must supply names dates and places of any entertainment or favors since Secretary James Schlesinger took office. The Pentagon noted no evidence of reimbursements for hunting lodge costs and stressed ongoing audits and a new task force to tighten contract auditing.
