Office wen asked today to undertake full-scale investigations of why the C5A cargo backbone of airlift planning for the next decade-may coat $12 billion mom than original estimates The demand was made by Sen William Proxmire D-Wis chairman of the Senate-House Economic Committee that recently heard testimony on contract overruns fa the largest airplane It would be a derelection of duty said Proxmire for Congress to permit payment such an exhorbitant increase in contract costs without scrutinising the reasons given tor the increase and indeed the entire view of the testimony we received in our the senator said serious questions shout the cost of the plane have been raised For example then is some evidence that poor -management on the part of the contractor may be a significant cause of the increase in Earlier this month the Air Force said the price of the C5A could ruin $2 billion over original estimates of $3 hfllion for the first 12o planes Later however response to the Air Force pot the figun at a more conservative $12 billion At the same time the Pentagon said the CSA contract provides safeguards for the government and for Lockheed Aircraft Corp maker of the frame and General Electric Co which makea the engines The higher price tag for the four-engine behemoth has been attributed to increased costs for labor and materials introduction of new technology and unexpected technical troubles The C5A Is designed to carry troops as well as big equipment like tanks and trucks The first model flew last spring and the Pentagon has maintained the craft will exceed performance guarantees of Lockheed Proxmire asked the General Accounting Office spending watchdog for Congress to report to him within six weeks At tin same time he wrote to Secretary of Defenae Clark Clifford urging Clifford to direct personally a study of enormous cost In his letter to Comptroller General Elmer Staats head of the GAO the senator said option under which the Department of Defense could obligato itself to pay as much as $2 billion in excessive costs is due to be exercised by January 31 1989 am formally requesting that you take whatever steps may be necessary to prevent the signing of this option before your report is made to the The senator wrote Clifford he hoped will instruct the responsible officials in the Department of Defense to give their fullest cooperation wfth the GAO
