McClellan Calls TFX A Billion Dollar Blunder
Senate investigator McClellan denounces the TFX program as a trillion dollar misstep predicting costs will blow past earlier estimates. He cites rising R and D costs from 221 million to over 2 billion and unit costs soaring from 2.8 million per F111 to 5 million for the Air Force version and 8 million for the Navy variant. He notes fewer planes are produced yet prices may reach 10 to 12 billion for 1900 aircraft. McClellan blames Defense Department engineering and program changes for the overruns.

Insurance Group Boosts LBJ Rent Supplement Plan
A $2 billion pledge by life insurers from $19 billion in annual investments will back President Johnsons rent supplement program. Metropolitan Life chair Gilbert Fitzhugh said private long term mortgage funds will rush to the effort, addressing critics who said private investment was unavailable. The move could revive support in Congress where the House backed $49 million. the Senate committee favored full funding. Public housing output may rise to about 70,000 units this year, with private enterprise involvement to speed development. Insurers may also finance blighted-area home purchases and some slum commercial development amid scarce, costly private lending.
