This appropriation covers relocation costs involved in moving
agencies from valuable underutilized property, targeted for public sale,
to facilities determined to be more economically suitable to their
needs. Relocation and disposal is considered when the benefit/cost ratio
is at least 2:1. The sale of these valuable underutilized properties
would provide significant revenue to the Treasury and would far outweigh
the relocation costs involved. The unallocated balance as of the end of
1996 is $1.547 million.
No appropriation is requested for this program in 1998. GSA will
solicit relocation proposals from agencies and request funds to
implement those proposals that have the highest economic benefit to the
Government.

The budget reflects a legislative proposal to retire debt (principal
and interest) to the United States Treasury incurred by the former
Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation (PADC). The Omnibus
Appropriations Act of 1996 mandated dissolution of the PADC as of April
1, 1996, but did not address the PADC's outstanding debt to the
Treasury. A legislative proposal will be submitted concurrent with the
President's Budget which will provide the requisite authorization and
funding to retire this debt.

The Public Buildings Service (PBS) has worked hard to become an
organization that looks and acts more like a private sector competitor
than a federal bureaucracy. PBS has reorganized along major business
lines representing the services it provides. The major business lines
include: Property Acquisition and Realty Services (satisfying tenant
agency space requirements); Property Development (construction and
modernization and repair and alterations of federally-owned
[[Page 952]]
space); Property Management (managing, operating, repairing and
maintaining federal space); Portfolio Management (managing real estate
assets to ensure efficient planning, return on investment and use);
Federal Protective Service (law enforcement and security within GSA-
controlled buildings); and Property Disposal (utilization and disposal
of excess Federal real property). This reorganization is consistent with
the initiative to privatize real property services.
The Federal Buildings Fund finances the activities of the Public
Buildings Service which provides space and services for Federal agencies
in a relationship similar to that of landlord and tenant.
The Fund, established in 1975, replaces direct appropriations by
using income derived from rent assessments which approximate commercial
rates for comparable space and services. Rent and other income to the
Fund is as follows:

============================================================
The Federal Buildings Fund program consists of the following
activities financed from rent charges:
Construction and acquisition of facilities.--Space is acquired
through the construction or purchase of facilities and prospectus-level
extensions to existing buildings. All costs directly attributable to
site acquisition, construction, and the full range of design and
construction services and management and inspection of construction
projects are funded under this activity.
Repairs and alterations.--Repairs and alterations of public
buildings as well as associated design and construction services are
funded under this activity. Protection of the Government's investment,
health and safety of building occupants, transfer of agencies from
leased space, and cost effectiveness are the principal criteria used in
establishing priorities. Primary consideration is given to repairs to
prevent deterioration and damage to buildings, their support systems,
and operating equipment. This activity also provides for conversion of
existing facilities and non-prospectus extensions.
Installment acquisition payments.--Payments are made for liabilities
incurred under purchase contract authority and lease purchase
arrangements. The periodic payments cover principal, interest, and other
requirements. Purchase contract authority, which provided for private
investment capital financing of public buildings, expired at the end of
1975.
Rental of space.--Space is acquired through the leasing of buildings
including space occupied by Federal agencies in U.S. Postal Service
facilities. This program will provide an estimated 138 million square
feet in 1997 and 131 million square feet in 1998.
Building operations.--Services are provided for Government-owned and
leased facilities, including cleaning, utilities and fuel, protection,
maintenance, miscellaneous services (such as moving, evaluation of new
materials and equipment, and field supervision), and general management
and administration of all real property related programs including
salaries and benefits paid from the Federal Buildings Fund. The
following list shows the 1997 and 1998 direct program (estimated square
feet and expenses in millions):

Total..................................... 1,496 1,428
============ ============
Other programs.--When requested by Federal agencies, the Public
Buildings Service provides building services such as tenant alterations,
cleaning and other operations, and protection services which are in
excess of those services provided under the commercial rental charge.
For presentation purposes the balances of the Unconditional Gifts of
Real, Personal, or Other Property trust fund have been combined with the
Federal Buildings Fund.
Prior year project and activities funded from budget year income.--
Actual income for fiscal year 1996 and estimated income for fiscal year
1997 will be $681 million less than the estimated amounts included in
the fiscal year 1997 President's Budget. Consequently, funds in this
amount must be provided again in fiscal year 1998, to be funded from
fiscal year 1998 revenue to the Federal Buildings Fund.

Public Law 99-88 provided that expenses of Transportation Audit
Contracts and Contract Administration activities shall be financed from
overcharges collected from carriers on transportation bills paid by the
Government and other similar type refunds. Public Law 99-627 granted GSA
authority to delegate to the Government agencies prepayment audit of
their transportation bills before they pay transportation carriers,
permanent authority to pay transportation audit contractors from carrier
overcharges collected, and authority to transfer net overpayments
collected to the Treasury. Public Law 103-123 provided that additional
expenses be financed from overpayments collected from carriers.
In 1996, $11 million of carrier overpayments were collected, and $5
million was returned to the U.S. Treasury. Due to downsizing and cost

This fund finances, on a reimbursable basis, a national supply
distribution system, a system of ordering supplies for direct delivery
to agencies, a system providing for the management, on a worldwide
basis, for the sale of surplus personal property for agencies, a system
of transportation and travel management which ensures discounted rates
for lodging, transportation, and small package mailings for Federal
customers, and a system of interagency Federal Fleet Management Centers.
Legislation was enacted in fiscal year 1988 to authorize full cost
recovery for all supply management, operating, and overhead expenses
related to providing goods and services to other agencies through the
General Supply Fund. Full cost recovery pricing results in the true cost
of supplies and services being reflected in charges to agencies. In
1997, the Information Technology Multiple Award Schedules Program was
consolidated into the Supply Schedules Program in the General Supply
Fund. In 1998, the Supply Schedules and Transportation and Travel
Management Programs will complete their transition from appropriated
funding to the General Supply Fund.
Supply operations.--
Stores, regular.--Stock of common-use commodities is purchased
in volume, stocked, and issued through supply facilities to
Government agencies. Sales were $948 million in 1996 and are
estimated to be $881 million in 1997 and $873 million in 1998. Each
year, GSA performs a ``market basket'' survey comparing the
commercial price to the GSA price for 120 commonly used office
supplies. Survey results
[[Page 955]]
showed GSA prices to be, on average, 22% lower than major commercial
retailers. In terms of service, the percentage of requisitions
filled from stock within 15 days was 96%, exceeding the goal of 93%,
and requisitions were shipped in an average of 7.4 days versus a
goal of 10 days.
Stores, direct delivery.--Orders for store-type items, if
sufficiently large and delivery time is not a factor, are placed
with the commercial source of supply for delivery directly to the
customer. Sales were $63 million in 1996, and are estimated to be
$62 million in 1997, and $61 million in 1998.
Special orders.--Definite quantity requirements of commodities
which are not susceptible to economical stocking in supply
facilities are purchased for direct shipment to user agencies. Sales
were $1,439 million in 1996, and are estimated to be $1,420 million
in 1997, and $1,406 million in 1998.
Schedules.--This contracting function provides a governmentwide
supply support program of commercial items and information
technology items required by Federal agencies and other authorized
users. Sales were $19 million in 1996 and are expected to be $30
million in 1997 and $32 million in 1998. The on-line electronic
catalog system, GSA Advantage, currently contains 85,000 stock items
available for electronic shopping. By September 1997, the universe
of supply products, over 4 million items, will be available on-line.
Miscellaneous.--The Personal Property Sales Program sales were
$15 million in 1996 and are estimated to be $12 million in 1997 and
$4 million in 1998. The Transportation and Travel Management Program
sales were $2 million in 1996 and are estimated to be $3 million in
1997 and $4 million in 1998. The GSA Standard Tender of Service
saved an estimated $95 million through agreements with motor
carriers for freight shipments in 1996. The Next Day Small Package
Program saved $40 million, achieving a price break of 36% compared
to equivalent commercial rates.
Federal Fleet Management Centers.--Services are provided through
a system of Fleet Management Centers. Sales were $713 million in
1996, and are estimated to be $793 million in 1997 and $795 million
in 1998. GSA's fleet management system has kept its operating costs
fairly level since 1993, with the average cost per mile fluctuating
less than 3% from 1993 through 1996. During this same period, cost
per mile dropped from 27.6 to 27.3 cents.
In fiscal year 1998, GSA plans to meet quotas for alternative
fuel vehicle (AFV) procurements contained in the Energy Policy Act
of 1992. GSA plans on requesting funds from each federal agency, for
their prorata share of the incremental cost in procuring the AFVs.

The Information Technology Fund was authorized by the Paperwork
Reduction Reauthorization Act of 1986, as included in Public Laws 99-500
and 99-591, section 821(a)(1). The Fund was established as of January 1,
1987, and consists of the assets, liabilities and capital of the Federal
Telecommunications Fund and the Automatic Data Processing Fund. The
purpose of the fund is to help ensure that automatic data processing,
telecommunications, and other information technologies are acquired and
used by the Federal Government in a manner which improves service
delivery and program management, increases productivity, improves the
quality of decisionmaking, reduces waste and fraud, and wherever
practicable and appropriate, reduces the information processing burden
for the Federal Government and for persons who provide information to
and for the Federal Government.
The fund provides information technology resources to Federal
agencies for promoting use of the latest technology to deliver services,
and for the efficient management, coordination, operation, and use of
such resources.
Levels of funding for capital investments and for operating capital
are determined through the submission and approval process of planned
cost and capital requirements to OMB by GSA pursuant to section
110(a)(1), Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as
amended by Public Law 99-591.
The Information Technology Fund finances, on a reimbursable basis,
the following Government-wide IT programs and services:
Federal Telecommunications Service (FTS).--The FTS provides
Government-wide telecommunications services to all Federal agencies. The
Interagency Management Council (IMC) serves as a Board of Directors for
the development, coordination, and customer-driven oversight of the
Federal telecommunications program.
FTS2000 Long Distance Telecommunications Service.--Provides long-
distance telecommunications services to more than 1.7 million users
through two ten-year multi-billion dollar FTS2000 contracts awarded to
AT&T and Sprint in December 1988. The contracts provide the Government
with low-cost, state-of-the-art, integrated voice, data and video
telecommunications services. The contracts provide for ``services''
rather than equipment. GSA's role is to oversee and manage the provision
of those services. Responsibilities include several IMC-approved
government-wide initiatives aimed at lowering the cost while improving
the quality and access to new services. The Blue Pages Project offers a
significant opportunity to improve customer access to government
services by improving the way government services are listed in
telephone directories. Also included in this activity is the GSA support
to government-wide national security emergency preparedness plans and
ensuring that the critical telecommunications needs of the Government
are available during local, national, and international crises.
Regional Telecommunications Services.--Provides nationwide
consolidated local telecommunications service, aggregated access to
FTS2000, and competitively procured contracts for equipment maintenance
and services. To take advantage of the changing local telecommunications
marketplace GSA has initiated the Metropolitan Area Acquisition (MAA).
The MAA will leverage market forces to gain immediate and significant
price reductions, offer federal agencies flexibility in choosing
services, and encourage interagency aggregation and sharing of
telecommunications resources consistent with agency requirements and
budgets.
Information Security.--Provides worldwide information technology
support services to all Government activities, including our nation's
allies, conducting classified, sensitive but unclassified, diplomatic or
military missions on a non-mandatory, fully reimbursable basis. To meet
this responsibility, the program participates in the development of
Government-wide information security policies and provides a
comprehensive range of information security technical services necessary
to manage and support mission critical information systems.
Information Technology Integration.--This activity is comprised of
several non-mandatory programs aimed at meeting client needs in the
acquisition and effective use of information technology resources. The
Federal Information Systems Support Program, (FISSP) provides
information systems services to Federal agencies in the areas of IT
business applications, facilities management, software definition and
design, scientific/engineering applications and computer security.
Services are provided through regional contracts with private sec-
[[Page 957]]
tor vendors tailored to local market conditions and needs of client
Federal agencies. The Federal Systems Integration and Management Center
(FEDSIM) manages Government-wide contracts to meet the needs of agencies
that elect to outsource their IT requirements. Services include Federal
Information Processing resources acquisition, systems integration,
software management, information technology facilities management, local
area network implementation, and networking. The Federal Computer
Acquisition Center (FEDCAC) provides support in the competitive
acquisition of large dollar value (more than $100 million) non-
developmental computer systems and associated services. The Information
Services Technical Support (ISTS) Program provides GSA-wide information
infrastructure for data communications and National Systems Program in
support of GSA business lines.

The Consumer Information Center Fund provides for the efficient
operation of the Consumer Information Center's activities. Under the
revolving fund, the Consumer Information Center's activities are
financed from moneys deposited to the fund, consisting of annual
appropriations from the general funds of the Treasury, reimbursements
from agencies, fees collected from the public and other income incident
to Consumer Information Center activities.
Administrative expenses.--The Consumer Information Center helps
Federal departments and agencies release consumer information collected
as a by-product of the Government's program activities. The Consumer
Information Center maintains close working relationships with more than
40 Federal agencies in order to identify, develop, promote, and make
accessible to the public Federal consumer information. In addition, the
Consumer Information Center promotes public awareness of this
information through publication of the quarterly Consumer Information
Catalog, through special projects promoting the catalog, and through
various media services. Administrative expenses are funded by the direct
appropriation and by fees collected from the public when ordering
publications listed in the catalog.
Publications distribution.--The Consumer Information Center bills
agencies and in turn reimburses the Government Printing Office for the
costs of distributing free publications to the public.
