(U) This is a followup to our meeting and discussion on Friday, 7 June.
The target date to have our contract signed is 21 June. Although this
has taken longer than we would have preferred, I want to assure you that
the staff has been diligent in seeking to expedite this important task.
In fact, we completed our statement of work in December 1990, but the
administrative, legal, and procedural issues associated with such a,complex
and unique contract contributed to the.pace of contract execution. We
have, as you undoubtedly suspect, a complete record of our chronology
in this regard, which demonstrates that our people have been proactive
at every opportunity. However, the bottom line is that the contract will
be signed this month and everything is on track, particularly since we
are using R&D funds. In fact, we had obtained authorization for precontract
costs which has permitted us to undertake some work while the-contract
details were being finalized.
