Settlement of Contract No. 5P4913
CHAL-0062 dated 5 Ma
1958
I. I am returning herewith y concurrince in Amendment No. 5
to Contract No. SP-I913. I feet that all concerned with this matter, notably
yourself, deserve the highelit commendation for the maimer in which this
contract was administered and settled.
Z. Unless I am greatly misinformed, this is by fir the largest single
contract we have negotiated and administered through this office. As such,
I am anxious that Colonel L. K. White (DD/S) be aware of the settlement of
this contract. I do not want the action with the company to be delayed, not
only because I believe in reasonable expedition but also because I have the
full responsibility for this action and in no way desire my responsibility to
be diluted by consultation with the DD/S in advance of the event. I suggest,
therefore, that you proceed to execute the Amendment but that you draft a
brief memorandum to be sent to Colonel White upon his return explaining
that because of the size and importance of this contract I believe he should
see the Negotiator's memorandum (SAPC-26694) so that he will be aware
both of the specific circumstances of this case and of the general policy we
are following with respect to contract settlement.
3. 1 am inclined to believe that Mr. Garrison should also have an
opportunity to see the Negotiator's memorandum if Colonel White feels that
it will be of interest to him. Accordingly, I suggest that your memorandum
to Colonel White indicates my willingness to have this document sent to Mr.
Garrison for information and comment.
