Issues Challenge to
Pentagon on TFX Planes
WASHINGTON W — The presi
dent of the Boeing Co. has issued
a challenge to the Pentagon: Let
Boeing build four prototype TFX
warplanes and test them against
those of the General Dynamics
Corp., the winning bidder.
Such a test, Boeing president
Wm. Allen told the Senate investi
gations subcommittee, “offers the
best possibility to assure the
American people that the best
weapons system are being bought
at the least cost.”
In fact, Allen said, he prefers
a test to reversal of the Pentagon’s
decision and award of the con
tract to Boeing.
The industrialist issued the chal
lenge while denying that Boeing’s
bid on the TFX was unrealistic
ally low.
In defending the award to Gen
eral Dynamics, Secretary of De
fense Robert McNamara has said
he and other civilian chiefs felt
Boeing’s offer was unrealistically
low.
Allen said Boeing’s bid for de
velopment and production of the
first 23 TFX planes for testing
was $148 million below General
Dynamics’ and was based on care
ful calculations.
The TFX award — potentially
a $6.2 billion job — envisions
eventual production of 1,700
fighter-bombers, to be the fastest
in the world. About 230 would be
used by the Navy, the rest by the
Air Force.
