General Dynamics F-16   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is one of most significant fighters of the latter part of the 20th century.

A BILLION DOLLAR BOONDOGGLE General Dynamics The General Dynamics Corp. has had the unfortunate distinction of being in the headlines for wrongdoing almost continually for the last 10 years. In 1976 General Dynamics filed a $544 million claim--later to be increased to $843 million--on Navy contracts for 18 attack submarines, claiming that changes in the design and Navy mismanagement were responsible for the overruns. One of the conditions imposed by the Navy for the lifting of the suspension was "the establishment of a rigorous code of ethics for all General Dynamics officers and employees with mandatory sanctions for violation." The question of ethics was to reappear in the coming months. multinationalmonitor.org /hyper/mm0288_05.html   (2886 words)

Rumsfeld v. General Dynamics Corporation Veliotis, President and General Manager of General Dynamics’ Quincy Shipbuilding Division, among others, agreed to award the subcontract to Frigitemp in exchange for bribes and kickbacks to be paid to Veliotis and Mr. In March 1995, General Dynamics wrote to the contracting officer and indicated its belief that the “legal fees and costs associated with the Frigitemp claims are unallowable,” but that the legal fees associated with the other claims in the Davis proceeding were allowable to the extent provided in FAR 31.205-47. The “analogous” fee-shifting statutes cited by General Dynamics are distinguishable in that those statutes all award fees to the “prevailing party.” Congress did not provide for fees to the “prevailing party” in this instance, instead limiting costs on a “proceeding” basis. www.ll.georgetown.edu /federal/judicial/fed/opinions/03opinions/03-1209.html   (3958 words)
