                                                        JUN 15 1972

r_1,  Dear Senators Javits and Buckley
      and Representative Abzug:

          Your letter of March 8, 1972, requested that we update
      the comparison included in our February 14, 1972, report to
      Representative Abzug of the two alternatives--cQnstruction
      and leasing--for acquiring a postal vehicle maintenance facil-
      ity (VMF) in New York City on2t ebasis of new information
      Provided by the Sharp Development Corporation, the would-be
      lessor. In that report we compared the cost of constructing
      a VMF on a Postal Service-owned site, adjacent to the Morgan
      Postal Station, with the cost of leasing a similar VMF to be
      constructed by the Sharp Development Corporation, on land
      about two blocks from the Postal Service-owned site.

           The updating of this comparison is not feasible, however,
    lbecause the buildings proposed to be constructed by the Postal -2_
    2,Service and by the Sharp Development Corporation are different P.lo?
      in size, configuration, and vehicle accommodations from those
      on which the comparison had been based. Therefore, it was
      agreed with your office that we would present data showing the
      lease rate below which it would be advantageous for the Postal
      Service to lease rather than to construct a VMF to meet its
      current requirements.

           We concluded that the Postal Service should lease a VMF
      that meets its current requirements if the lease rate is less
      than $3.52 per square foot a year or $2,297,000 a year. Fur-
      ther details regarding our computation are contained in the
      enclosure.

           We have not requested the Postal Service or the Sharp
      Development Corporation to review or comment formally on the
      information in this report.

           We plan to make no further distribution of this report
      unless copies are specifically requested and then only after
