Rep. Flood States
ACS Is Potential
Source of Scandal
WASHINGTON iff) — Rep.
Daniel J. Flood, (D-Pa.), says the
Army’s Alaska Communications
System is a “gimmick” that should
be sold.
He warned, at hearings before
the House Defense Appropria
tions subcommittee, that the sys
tem is a potential source of scan
dal.
“Are you going to spend more
millions and millions of dollars
on that Alaska Communications
System on which money has been
spent for 15 years until it is
plushed up with lace curtains on
the poles, silver wires, and so on,”
Flood asked Army representatives
in testimony made public Thurs
day.
“How long are we going to put
money into that gimmick, until
we finally get a buyer? he asked
Maj. Gen. Charles B. Duff, Army
Budget Director.
Duff said congressional approv
al is needed for the sale and that
legislation is being proposed again
this year.
“This has the potential of one
of the biggest scandals in the his
tory of the U. S. government,”
Flood said, “I certainly hope we
watch this. This can be a real
stinkeroo.”
