Major General J. C. Maxwell
Commander, Armament Development and Test Center
Eglin Air Force Base, Florida 32542

Dear General Maxwell:

     The General Accounting Office has examined into the pricing
of two negotiated contracts for the CBU-42/A Wide Area Anti-Personnel
Mine (WAAPM) System awarded by the U. S. Air Force, Armament Devel-
opment and Test Center (ADTC), Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, to
Honeywell, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Honeywell has produced
the WAAPM system since 1967.

     Our examination was made as part of a continuing review of the
pricing of contracts subject to the provisions of Public Law 87-653,
effective December 1, 1962, as implemented by the Armed Services
Procurement Regulation.

     The specific contracts included in our review are fixed-price-
incentive-fee contract F08635-69-C-0015 and firm-fixed-price contract
F08635-70-C-0001.  Both contracts contained a clause to provide for
a reduction in the contract price for defective cost or pricing data.

     Our review was directed towards examining into the reasonable-
ness of the prices negotiated in relation to cost or pricing data
available to Honeywell at the time of contract -0015 price negotiations.
With regard to contract -0001, our review was limited solely to cost
estimates for scrap and their related effect upon the contract price.

     We reviewed pertinent records at the contractor's plant and
the records of negotiation at ADTC.  The Defense Contract Administra-
tion Services (DCAS) and the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA),
both of which have resident offices at Honeywell, are responsible for
contract administration and auditing activities, respectively.
