Profit Rate on Jets Defended by GM Aid
General Motors executive John F. Gordon defended a 599 jet fighter contract profit as reasonable and below the companys standard rate, saying profits were 11.3 percent pre tax and 9.6 percent after tax. He noted cost reductions lowered the contract value by about 26.6 million from the original 370.5 million proposal while auditors found 17.5 million in excess profits beyond the planned margin.
