Dear Admiral Gooding:

     The General Accounting Office is performing a broad examination
of the reasonableness of noncompetitive prime contract prices negotiated
under the provislons of Public Law 87-653.  As part of this examina-
tion, we have reviewed four subcontracts awarded to General Electric
Company (GE) by Newoort News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company (Newport
News) under prime contract N00024-70-C-0252, dated February 5, 1970.
Effective December 21, 1971, the contract awarded by the Naval Ship
Systems Command, now the Naval Sea Systems Command, was converted from
a cost plus fixed fee (CPFF) to a fixed-price-incentive (FPI) contract,
with a sharing ratio of 80/20, a target price of $254.8 million, and
a ceiling price of S300 million.  The contract provides for the con-
struction of three nuclear powered guided missile frigates, the DLG(N)'s
38, 39 and 40.

     Following is data on the subcontracts (purchase orders) we reviewed.

     The objective of our review was to find out whether the subcontract
amounts included in the prime contractor's proposal were reasonable in
relation to subcontractor cost or pricing data available at the time
of prime contract negotiations.
