Cowpany, w ,rcserved  our reply in order to deterxine whether
the. contracts contain proprietary infornation.

       We have  coMpieted our review and are encloning co)pion of

and No. 5 of  the Genoral Electric contract, incorporate  by refer-
once technical  and cost proposal  ttubmitted to GAO by ItMAC nnd
oneral  EfLoctric.  Both compinsi  have ntipulated  that their
technicdl antI cont propoals  aro not to be disclosed outside  the

uitantial' harm to their corpetitive po.itions. We have oxamined
these propovals and  there appeari to be a stuiaitantial hasis for
the assurlion  that disclosure culd  causo harn to the conpanies'
;onpoti'cive positions.  The proposals are thoroforo exempt  from

in'j rectords containing trade        micrets and comnercial or financial
information  that in privileged or confidential.

      We have deleted  portionE of Articles V!(D)(Service
Contract Act), VIII(D)  (YNoy Personnel), and XVII (ToaseCrodita)
