      COMMUNICATION FROM CHAIR OF COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION AND 
                             INFRASTRUCTURE

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following 
communication from the Chair of the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure; which was read and, without objection, referred to the 
Committee on Appropriations:

         House of Representatives, Committee on Transportation and 
           Infrastructure,
                                    Washington, DC, March 8, 2012.
     Hon. John Boehner,
     Speaker of the House, House of Representatives, The Capitol, 
         Washington, DC.
       Dear Mr. Speaker: On March 8, 2012, pursuant to section 
     3307 of Title 40, United States Code, the Committee on 
     Transportation and Infrastructure met in open session to 
     consider resolutions to authorize 11 lease prospectuses 
     included in the General Services Administration's (GSA) 
     FY2011 and FY2012 Capital Investment and Leasing Programs 
     (CILP) and one resolution to request an information report 
     pursuant to section 3315(a) of Title 40.
       Our Committee continues to work to cut waste and the cost 
     of federal property and leases. The resolutions approved by 
     the Committee will save the taxpayer $19.5 million annually 
     or $317 million over the terms of the leases. These 
     resolutions ensure savings through lower rents, shrinking the 
     space requirements of agencies, avoidance of holdover 
     penalties, and efficiencies created through consolidation. In 
     addition, the Committee has included space utilization 
     requirements in each of the resolutions to ensure agencies 
     are held to appropriate utilization rates.
       I have enclosed copies of the resolutions adopted by the 
     Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on March 8, 
     2012.
           Sincerely,
                                                     John L. Mica,
                                                         Chairman.
       Enclosures.
