Consequently the total overall cost of the MOL program would come t $1.54 billion. 3 OSD subsequently submitted to Congress a change in its fiscal year 1970 MOL budget line item, reducing it from $525 million to $125.3 million to pay the termination costs. This sum was to be used for employee severance pay and relocation reimbursement, settlement expenses, and allowable post-termination activities such as contractor inventory, hardware, and equipment disposition, and plant maintenance. In mid-July, however, the MOL Systems Office advised Colonel Ford that the contractors’ initial claims totaled $137 million. On his instructions, the Systems Office rejected their demands for full fees and, by December 1969, the sum required had been reduced to $128 million. Toward year’s end Dr. Seamans was informed that a further reduction in their closing costs was anticipated and that the $125 million fiscal year 1970 appropriation would be sufficient to satisfy all MOL program obligations. 4 Hardware Disposition Along with an orderly phase out of the program, the Air Force initiated studies to identify MOL hardware or technology which might be useful to various USAF agencies or NASA. At the request of Dr. Seamans, an ad hoc group—chaired by Dr. Yarymovych of the Office of
