First of the “phantom procurement orders will be for 100,000 machine tools. If the program works smoothly, the board plans to’ place seweral billion dollars worth of additional orders with American industry. None of the orders will have legally-binding contract status until they are “activated’” by the government. But gthat could be done in any future emergency by a simple, terse telegram of authorization. J
