Dear Mr. Aspin:

      Pursuant to your request of September 1, 1972, we have
analyzed the c~rrent Cot~estima~e for the UTTA,$ helicopter
program as shown in the June 30, 1972, Se lec~edAcquisition


     We are reviewing the UTTAS helicopter for the Congress,
as part of our annual re&.oj__,j,ej          igr system acqui-
sitions. We will cover the cost and other signifiant aspects
oft' program in our UTTAS staff study which we expect to
issue early this year.

      Your questions and our findings are presented below.

      1. Why has the cost estimate as reported in the
          June 30 SAR increased by more than $300 million
          compared to the information reported in your
          March staff study?

      The current estimate for UTTAS program acquisition cosi
as shown in the June 30, 1972, SAR, was $2.344 billion. This
represents a $312.2 million increase over the original plan-
ning estimate of $2.032 billion, which appeared in the Devel-
opment Concept Paper (DCP) and was reported in our March 1972
staff study.

      The net increase of $312.2 million resulted from the fol-
lowing changes made to the original planning estimate to ar-
rive at the revised planning estimate and the current estimate
which appear in the SAR of June 30, 1972.
