Dear General Phillips:

     We have recently performed a limited survey of the uses made of
contract feet paid to the Aerospace Corporation, El Sogundo, Califoinia,
under the annual contract for scientific, engineering, and technical
support of the Space and Missile Systems Oganization  (MSO).

     As part of this work, we inquired into (1) the extent to which
Department of Defense (DOD) funds were need to reimbuxse Aerospace
for bid and proposal and other expenses relating to the deveopment
of no4-DOD business, (2) the economy of continuing to lease automatic
data  recessing equipment (ADPE), (3) the working crpital impact
resulting from the accrual of large amounts of unused vacation expensas,
and (4) the adequacy of procedures estnblished to assure compliance
with the compenpation limitation for officers and employees of Federal
contract research conters (FCRC's) as imposed by Section 407 of Public
Law 91-121   These issues were discussed with SAMSO officials at the
completion of our survey; however, we thought it would be beneficial
to summarize for you our observations concerning these matters* .o.

DID AND PROPOSAL AND OTHER NEW
BUSIN4SS DCLLENT EXPEL4SES


     At Aerospace, bid and proposal-type expenses have increased sub-
stantially during fiscal year 1970.  This primarily resulted from the
terrinatinn of a mnjor Air Force progran cnd the snbseouent ret'v
Lent of a celect nuvbr  of Technial  personnel fton this piogram to
proposal efforts involvIng non-DOD work aieas.  Correspondence available
at Aerospace indicated that the reassignment plan was considered
reasonable by General O'Neill.
