Panel Concludes US Defense Industry
Companies. Need Help - WP

5/18/00 3:27am

NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- A panel of experts convened by the
Pentagon concluded that the defense industry is ailing and the cure
involves allowing companies to make more money, the Washington
Post reported Thursday.

Eleven defense executives and experts have been studying the
health of the industry since January, appointed by the Defense
Department after a year in which contractors` stock prices plunged
and several leading corporations suffered financial setbacks.

The recommendations are to be presented to Defense Secretary
William C. Cohen by early June.

The Post said that panel noted that the market valuation of 10 top
defense companies, including Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing, was
about equal to Procter & Gamble by itself and less than one-quarter
that of Microsoft.

The task force suggested a series of remedies to help the defense
industry. One is to increase the amount a contractor gets paid each
time it completes a portion of work on a program, and another is to
let companies earn more profit on successful programs, which is
currently capped at a 10% profit.

booked as a new order and added to backlog in the second quarter.

- During the quarter President Clinton signed legislation which removed existing restrictions on the ownership of Comsat stock. The Comsat transaction is expected
to close during the third quarter, after completion of regulatory review by the Federal Communications Commission. The waiting period for the Hart, Scott, Rodino

- The Norwegian Ministry of Defense selected a team led by Empresa Nacional Bazan of Spain to build five new frigates for the Royal Norwegian Navy. Lockheed
Martin will provide the integrated weapons system for the frigates at a cost of approximately $500 million. Contract signing is expected during the second quarter of
2000.

Ayrshire, Scotland; the two-year initial system development effort is funded at $63 million.
