Charge Lockheed Underbid for C-5A
The Senate Armed Services Committee will hold hearings June 3 and 4 on allegations that Lockheed underbid the C-5A contract, with estimations suggesting the initial batch could cost up to 2 billion more than 1964 government estimates. Lockheed won the contract by bidding about 200 million below the Air Force low estimate for 12 planes, prompting claims the firm may recoup later through government funding. The first run of 58 planes is in production at Marietta, Georgia, with penalties possible if delivery misses the December 1969 deadline.
