Craft associated press writer Washington a the Senate armed services committee will recommend tight new controls on the Way the Pentagon pays defense contractors travelling the financially risky Road of research sources say.

It is not known How much has been paid for thousands of smaller projects. The committee will urge a $625 million ceiling for payments under Advance agree ments required to be negotiated this fiscal year meaning the Money would be split among the 50-Odd companies covered now. Since there firms would be expected to receive about 95 per cent of the total payments made the committee says a the ceiling actually affords the department leeway to exceed its present estimates Quot military agencies have told the committee Thev estimate Quot see research.
