COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D-C. Z0540 B- 1 9 3 50 2 APRIL 29, 1980 The 3onorable Jack Brooks Chairman, Subcommittee on Legislation and National Security Committee on Government Operations 112382 House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: rllegations of Army Retaliation Against Bristol Electronics, Inc., New Bedford, Massachusetts, As a Result of Earlier Committee Inquiries (PSAD-80-45) In response to your November 15, 1979, request, we investigated allegations by N4r. Stanley A. Revzin, President, Bristol Electronics, Inc., tnat were set forth in his Novem- ber 1, 1979, letter to you. (See enc. V.) We also con- sidered the information in Mr. Revzin's February 27, 1980, letter to you, concerning essentially the same allegations. In our investigation we found no documentary evidence supporting Mr. Revzin's allegations, and all indications are that the Army treated Bristol fairly. Bristol's difficulties appear to be the result of its decision to accept the risk inherent in bidding a fixed-price contract at an unrealistic- ally low price, expecting to offset losses against other business. Details supporting our conclusions are set forth in enclosure I. The scope of our work was designed to cover your primary concern that a contractor may have suffered retaliation as a result of its cooperation and testimony oefore your committee. During the course of our investigation, we informally kept your office advised of developments as tney occurred. ,ve interviewed Mr. Revzin to clarify his allegations, and we reviewed the record of hearings referenced in his letter. We visited the U.S. Army Communications and Electronics Materiel Readiness Command, Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, to review contract files and other records pertinent to the allegations and to interview those having direct knowledge of these issues. We visited the Defense Contract Adminis- tration Services, Management Area, Boston, Massachusetts, (950574)
