Senator Ferguson said the
subcommittee will investigate
specific complaints by small

contract cancellations and termi-
nations. and awards of con-

Protect Low Bidders.
He said the probe is not aimed
at 0lVert1ng contracts to cities

been negotiated rather than

Later hearings will deal with
this and other problems faced in
award of contracts to small
