SUBJECT:
War Hazards Compensation Act Reimbursement
Refs: (a) WD-65-1776, March 25, 1965
(b) WD-65-786, February 100 1965
(c) LC--64-40, October 30, 1964
There is enclosed a copy of-a. memo (AATC-65-052, dated March 20,
1965) prepared by the AA/TC on the above subject. It appears
beyond question that insofar as Contract AID-439-342 is con-
cerned reimbursement cannot be sought for losses under Contract
"342", either in the DeBruin case or in any others to date.
With respect to those contracts with the Department of Defense,
other than Booklift, we could logically pursue reimbursement
under the Act,' but the Air Force procurement officials involved
with Contracts AF62(531)-1758 and AF62(531)-1757 have indicated
a preference for our handling the matter through the Air 'force
pursuant to the indemnity provisions of the contracts. Several
of these claims are now being perfected here, and during the
recentvisit of the Managing Director, I cleared with him the
fact that we will pursue these claims administratively through
Air Force channels, I am sending today to Mr. Hanson a letter
regarding his forthcoming visit, a copy of which is attached.
