Disputed Note
Says BOeing IL
Is Superior II
By the Associated Press


Senators today unveiled a
disputed Pentagon document
reporting that Secretary of
Defense Mcnamara told Presi-
dent Kennedy the rejected de-
sign for the Tx warplane
had "operational superiority"
over the winner.
Secretary of the Air Force
Eugene M. Zuckert, who wrote
the document as a memoran-,
dun for his files, insisted he
had over-Simplified it's Ian,
guage and should have used
the words claimed operational
superiority"
The memorandum, dated last
Marcn 10, and Mr.. Zuckert's
question-and-answer testimony
were disclosed today in a cen
sored transcript of a closed
door hearing yesterday before
the Senate Investigations Sub.
committee. 1t ended 10 days
of testimony by Mr.. Zuckert,
after which the Tx hearings
were recessed indefinitely.
A Chronology
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat Of
Arkansas, is exploring whether
favoritism Steered the huge
Tx (tactical fighter-experi-
mentaD contract to the Cen
eral Dynamics Corp.
The uniformed military had
evaluated a rival design and bid
from the Boeing Co. as promis-
ing a better Tx at less cost.
The plane is to be developed
and produced at costs which
ultimately may reach So billion.
Mr.. Zuckert's memorandum
was described as a chronology
of events involved in the nego-
tiation leading up to the an
nouncement last November "a
that General Dynamics would
receive the contract, despite the
uniformed military's preference
for Boeing's design.
The document itself was not
placed in evidence in full. The
transcript recorded part of it,
however. describing a meeting
with Mr.. Mcnamara shortly
after the Secretary of Defense,
had visited Mr.. Kennedy at the
White House. q
Set on Single Design
1t said he reported, among
other things, that the Pentagon
finally was convinced it actu-
ally was possible to design a
single Tx plane for both the
Air Force and Navy, at a great
saving over the cost of separate .
designs for the two services.
The memo said Secretary Of the
Navy Fred Korth and Deputy
Secretary Of Defense Roswell L.
Gilpatric also sat in on the
meeting with Mr.. Mcnamara.
The memo said:
"McNamara said he and
Gilpatric had been to see the
President. He told him (it)
looked like a single Tx for
Navy and Air Force could be
built. The President said akay.
Rough Notes g..
"McNamara told President
that Boeing had operationaI
superiority but that it seemed
to us General Dynamics Of
fered best change of hitting
program development and
production) date and cost, and
it looked as If General Dyna-
mics would be chosen. The
President made no comment. ~
Mr.. Zuckert protested that
the memo was intended only
as rough notes. to keep his
memory fresh, and was made
some four months after the
events described. He insisted
there never was any conces-
sion at all" that Boeing prom
ised a plane of operational SUI
periority.
What he had in mind, Mr..
Zuckert said, was that the mill
tary claimed such superiority
for Boeing. He has steadfastly
maintained that the choice of
General Dynamics was correct.
