Approved For Release 2002/01/10 : CIA-RDP73B00296R000400160011-9 Approved For Release 20'02t01.110 : CIA-RDP7'3B00296P,0004901-60011;,- I States entered into a bonafido agreement which designated Lockheed's fixed loss on the C5-A program to be $200,000,000, and to restrict the traditional right of recovering depreciation, bid and proposal and independent research and development costs is to add upwards of an additional $20,000,000 in fixed loss. They consid-or it unfair for Congress to legislatively amend the contract on what they believe to be an ox post facto basis. However, after considerable discussion the House conferees recognized that the Senate was adamant in its posi- tion and' in the broader interest of enactin the entire bill into law 0- g , House conferees receded with the exception of Mr. Arends, Mr. G b u sor, and Mr. Wilson, and accept the Senate position on this provision of the bill. CEILING ON EXPENDITURES IN 'YrAOS- Cambodia Section 505 of the Sonato bill imposes a ceiling of MIO million on expenditures in, to, for, or on behalf of ba,-es, excluding combat air operations in or over Laos by U.S. military forces. The section further requires quarterly written reports by the President of the United States to the Congress showing the total of expenditures by the U.S. government during the preceding quarter subject to the ceiling, with a breakdown of the purposes for which the expenditures were made. The section also provides that after the date of enactment of this Act any request for the appropriation of funds for use in, for, or on behalf of Laos shall be accompanied by a written report explaining the purpose for which such funds are to be used. The Congress has been advised that the ceiling established by the section $69. milli n i i l h ' , , o s equ va ent to t e totl expenditures pro- grammod by the administration in motes for fiscal year 1972, excluding the normal and usual expenses of the embassy discussed below. The House conferees are in sympathy with the purposes of the limitation and the House, therefore, recedes. , ~ The conferees intend that the -? million limitatiolshould ~rneltlele all assistance-related activities in Laos. However, the conferees wish to make it understood that it is not the intent to $acora coiling on, or reduce, funds available for vital non-assistance-related activities in programs which must be carried on irrespective of assistance- related operations in Laos, such as the normal expenses incurred by the State Department in the operation of its embassy and such normal and usual expenses of the embassy as would be incurred in peacetime in the absence of any military, paramilitary, or economic assistance programs of any kind. REPORTING OF SCHEDULES AND TESTING PRIOR TO PROCUREMENT The Senate bill contained a new general provision, Section 506, which requires the Secretary of Defense to submit annual reports on development sohedules, procurement schedules, and operational testing and evaluation (OT&E) for weapon systems for which funds for pro- curement are requested. In addition, supplemental reports are re- quired to be submitted 30 to 60 days prior to' awarding of a procure- ment contract. The House bill contained no similar provision. authorization and the reporting requirements of the section applies to. >, such authorization and reporting requirements on, or. .
