Renegotiation Act on U S Contracts Faces Expiration
Washington reports the Renegotiation Act of 1951 expires midnight December 31 with no extension in sight. The act would recapture excess profits on government purchases, potentially saving $30 million to $40 million annually, while critics call the process costly. The U S Chamber of Commerce opposes renewal, arguing contracts could be sharper and cheaper if renegotiation ends. Proponents cite unknown production costs for new weapons and the risk of national taxpayer losses without a provision to benefit from cost reductions. The act, first passed in 1943, centralized renegotiations under a five member board after wartime experience. the current chair is vacant with Charles E. Mills acting. The board, with five regional offices and about 600 staff, runs about $4.5 million yearly and yields substantial savings to the Treasury.
