GAO reviewed State's efforts to identify and sell excess or underused real estate and to use the proceeds for other high-priority real property needs. GAO reported in 1995 (GAO/NSIAD-95-73) on the potential budget savings from selling expensive property in Tokyo and on the problems in State's management of properties abroad. This report (1) identifies real estate at other locations that could possibly be sold to provide money to meet other real estate needs, (2) describes problems that State has had in deciding which properties to dispose of, and (3) explains how State uses the proceeds from the properties it does sell. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-96-36/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-96-36.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-96-36/pdf/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-96-36.pdf GAO/NSIAD-96-36 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-96-36 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-96-36; Overseas Real Estate: Millions of Dollars Could Be Generated By Selling Unneeded Real Estate; Property disposal Real estate purchases Real estate sales Internal controls Accounting procedures Government facilities Embassies Consulates Surplus federal property Federal property management Singapore Brasilia (Brazil)
