       INTRODUCTION OF THE EFFICIENT FLEET MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1995

                                 ______


                            HON. BOB FRANKS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 30, 1995
  Mr. FRANKS of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, spread throughout Washington, 
DC., and roaming in all corners of our country are more than 250,000 
cars and trucks that make up the civilian Federal motor fleet. Last 
year, the GAO reported that only the IRS was in compliance with 
existing law which requires agencies to take advantage of the most 
cost-effective fleet management practices available.
  Today, I am introducing a bill to require the Office of Management 
and Budget to supervise the awarding of competitive contracts in 
acquiring and operating the Federal fleets. This bill will save 
taxpayers at least $1 billion over 5 years.
  Mr. Speaker, this Congress must demand that Federal agencies account 
for all the costs

of their fleets and be held accountable to minimize those costs. I urge 
all of my colleagues to join me in supporting this legislation.
