Dear Mr. Van Benschoten:

     As part of a nationwide review  of the effectiveness of Defense
procurement regulations concerning  subcontract cost or pricing data
submissions, we have examined  the prices proposed and negotiated for
major firm fixed-price  subcontracts involving cable assemblies
procured from Amphenol  Space and Missile Systems Division, Chatsworth,
California, under  fixed-price incentive prime contracts for the fiscal
year 1972 MINUTEMAN  III missile procurement.  In particular, our
review included  subcontracts AlMM-528334 and A2MM-528336 awarded by
the Autonetics Group, Rockwell  International Corporation, under
contract FO0701-69-C-0194  and subcontract 633693-28(29) awarded by
the Bell Aerospace  Company under contract F04701-71-C-0038.  Our
review primarily concerned  the reasonableness of the subcontract
estimates included  in the prime contract prices in relation to cost
or pricing data  available at the time of prime contract or subcontract
negotiations.

     We found  that:

     --  The  amount negotiated in the target price of contract
         -0194  for the Amphenol subcontract effort was about
         $775,900  higher than indicated by available cost data
         at  the time of prime contract negotiations.

     --   The amount negotiated in the target price of contract
         -0038  for the Amphenol subcontract effort was about
         $168,100  higher than indicated by available cost data
         at  the time of subcontract negotiations.
