GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION


Adaptive of an Historic Resource--Public Information Meeting

    The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announces the 
Monday, June 9, 1997 issuance of a Request For Qualifications for the 
Development and Management of a National Historic Landmark. The General 
Post Office, a mid-nineteenth century historic property also known as 
the Tariff Commission building is located on Square 430, the city block 
between 7th & 8th Streets and E and F Streets, NW in Washington, 
District of Columbia on June 9, 1997. Response submissions from 
interested parties are due August 11, 1997. Copies of the GSA Request 
for Qualifications are available upon request from Elizabeth Gibson, 
U.S. General Services Administration, National Capital Region, 
Portfolio Management, Suite 7600, 7th & D Sts., S.W., Washington, DC 
20407. For further information telephone 202-708-5334 or FAX 202-708-
7671. Accordingly, the U.S. General Services Administration invites the 
public to a general information meeting on Monday, July 7, 1997 at 6 
p.m. at the Naval Heritage Center, 701 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., 
Washington, DC 20004-2608. The entrance is on the ground floor in the 
east Market Square Building adjacent to the Archives/Navy Memorial 
Metro-Station--Yellow and Green Lines. The purpose of the meeting is to 
begin to solicit public participation in the identification of adaptive 
use concepts for the public building.
    GSA is seeking private investment to restore and reuse an important 
historic property that no longer has a viable Federal use. Adaptive use 
concepts must be financially feasible and generate long term revenues 
for the federal government. GSA intends to retain ownership of the 
property for safekeeping while creating the opportunity for the private 
sector to change use of the property and keep it accessible for the 
public.
    For additional information on the federal undertaking see the 
Internet Web Page http://www.gsa.gov/regions/r11/ncr.htm. For 
additional information on the historic property see the Historic 
American Building Survey No. DC-219 and U.S. Department of Interior 
National Register No. 69000311.

    Dated: June 16, 1997.
Arthur M. Turowski,
Director, Portfolio Management Division, WPT.
