1983




 

Geraldo Rivera for Eyewitness News, takes us to Tucson Arizona, home of the Hughes aircraft company. Why are the rates of defense contractors so much higher than industry standard? We interview A Ernest Fitzgerald of USAF management systems and see some of his testimony before a congressional committee. $3,300 per hour repair charges, scrap & rework…are our own military procurement personnel working for the taxpayer, or making sure they have jobs when their tour is done? We also attempt to interview some former Air Force personnel who have found high paying jobs with those same defense companies after retirement.

 

Here for more historic moments.
