, -i The Honorable Vance Hartke

    United States Senate

    Dear Senator Hartke:

         This is in response to your November 29, 1973, request
    that wei a      ecurrent contract with ICI America, Inc.,
    for operation of the-Indiana Army Ammunition Plant (IAAP), .     ,
  --Charlestown, Indiana. Also, you asked that we provide
    certain documents related to Army contracts for operation
    of IAAP and a summary of Government contracts awarded to
    ICI America.

         The records you requested would require reproducing
    a large number of documents. The Army Armament Command
    offered to furnish a summary of the circumstances leading
    to the axard of the current cont GIt to ICI America in-
    stead of reproducing t e6 cuments. Your office agreed
    to accept the Army's offer. Your office also agreed that
    our audit of the current contract would be limited to
    identifying the additional costs borne by the Government
    because of labor-management difficulties at IAAP.

         On March 29, 1974, we delivered to your office a
    summary prepared by the Armament Command and a list of
    contracts awarded to ICI America which we extracted from
    Department of Defense and Army records.

    SUMMARY

         As of February 1974, ICI America had been paid about
    $652,100 for costs incurred due to labor problems at IAAP.
    Of this amount, $423,800 was for various costs, including
    legal services associated with a strike during September
    and October 1972. Additional legal costs are anticipated.
    The remaining $228,300 represents our estimate of additional
    labor costs incurred by ICI America due to (1) a production
    slowdown and (2) increased union business conducted on
    company time.
