	HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY, history by Mike Glenn
		Two A-3A aircraft, BuNo's 135411 and 135427 were selected by the Navy to perform the flight testing, and those aircraft were transferred from VAH-123 to Hughes via the depot at Alameda where most of the mission systems were removed, and the aircraft arrived at the Hughes Aircraft facility at Culver City, California in late 1963.
		Hughes was given the option of various testbeds to continue development, and TA-3B 144867 was chosen as the most desirable airframe, with many of the changes incorporated into 135411 were transferable to the TA-3B airframe, including the engineering for the nose modifications.
		The aircraft was civil certified as the Navy no longer had the means to certify operations and modifications with the anticipated closing of the Depot at Alameda, and NTA-3B 144867 became N14867 and made the first civil certified flight of an A-3 in December, 1990 after being modified for the Army NLOS missile program.

		This letter, on behalf of Hughes Aircraft Company ("Hughes"), is in response to the Federal Trade Commission's ("FTC") notice of July 20, 1995, soliciting public comments on FTC policy in relation to the changing nature of competition.
		Hughes commends the FTC's efforts to review its antitrust enforcement policy in light of changes stemming from global and innovation-based competition.
		Without the Hughes proposal, only one company, Lockheed Martin, would have been in the competition, thus ensuring that Lockheed Martin would be the winner in the imminent down select to one contractor.
