The United States$ role in the procurement of 83
tactical aircraft shelters at four air bases occupied by the
United States in England was questioned, particulaz;ly whether
the United States$ interests were properly represented by the
British Department of the Environment. Concern was expressei
over the selection of an Italian firm to subcontract steel
components rather than Karwais International, S.A.
Findings/Conclusions: The Air Force and the Dri': Departaent
of Environment acte% according to existing agre(,, .ts and
procurement regulations to protect the United Sta'ces' interests.
Marwais International, a subsidiary of Barwais Steel Co. of
Richaoud, Californ.a, was given an equitable cbance to
participate as a subcontractor. There was no evidencu of
Arab-boycott influence over the subcontractor selection,
although marwais is owned by a Jewish family. (RRS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaacao0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
