Joseph Campbell, the Comptroller General. 6. The Renegotiation Board: Thomas Coggeshall, Chairman. Mr. VINSON. Now, I want to say here we are ready for the witnesses. If you want to study these charts any more and get all this before we go into it-we were to take up tomorrow-and we could have these witnesses come here on Wednesday morning, if that suits the committee now. We have to do this job, and I want to do a good job. And I want the committee to know what they are doing, and I want them to get the foundation. We tried to build it up here. Mr. BATES. Wednesday morning? Mr. VINSON. Well, is Wednesday morning all right? (Mr. Bates aside to the chairman.) Mr. COURTNEY. The witnesses are alerted, Mr. Chairman. We will start with the Department of Defense. And the sequence you have indicated here would be the Department of Defense, Army, Navy and Air Force, in that order. Mr. VINSON. Have you notified the witnesses to be ready for tomorrow? Mr. COURTNEY. They are alerted for tomorrow. Mr. VINSON. All right. Let's come in here, and we will start off. Now, I think this: I want you to take this chart home and read it, because we have a good foundation. Put this whole chart in the record. Now, if you will just take a few minutes. Now, here are the types of contracts, each one. You will see it all tabulated in the last pages here. It gives a pretty good summing up of it. It shows $25,312,065,000, is what it is.
