1. A re-negotiation conference was held with General Electric on 7-8 October, as
stated in last week's Diary. The purpose of this conference was to negotiate a CPFF
contract containing a special provision accept: the General Electric guarantee-
offer to bear any additional cost not to exceed 2TT0,400.00 incurred above the
estimated total cost. During this conference, General Electric brought up the
‘ollowing subjects as possible areas where changes in the standard ASPR/AFPI clauses
would be required: subcontracting, small business, termination, Government property,
insurance and liability to thira Persons, patent clause, batlment clause, Government
facilities and changes. :

2.. After considerable G@iscussion, it was agreed that these standard clauses need not
be changed because.of the “1.7M" offer except for the changes clause. In view of the
major Program change made at. the 7 October Project Meeting, schedule stretch out,
deletion of requirement to furnish certain hardware (command. receiver,

beacon, telemetry, ete.) and added emphasis on reliability, General Electric wanted
to develop a contract change agreement in conjunction with pricing out this first
major Program change. General Electric's concern, of course, regarding changes is
the effect on the company's’ "1.7" potential liability.

3- In view of General Electric's insistence to develop this change agreement. slowly,
i.e., in conjunction with pricing out this first major change, and further that
considerable in-house review of this change agreement will be required at General
Electric, there was no alternative but to issue « letter Contract. This Letter
Contract is being prepared and will be mailed to General Electric within the next
five working days.
