General Dynamics and Boeing offered virtually identical planes, he said, but Dynamics combined its offering in a sinwhile Boeing proposed two similar planes, one for the Air Force and one for the Navy. The Navy secretary said he foresaw aditional costs in the Boeing proposal because of the added test and development work that would have to be done by Boeing in perfecting two models. These costs would be telescoped by Dynamics in a single plane. Conviction Effort Rapped by Hoffa ITHACA, N.Y.
