    The Honorable John P. Murtha
(A  House of Representatives

'   Dear Mr. Murtha:

         Subject: [Relocation Of Government Activities
                    Io Economically Depressed, Labor
                    Surplus Communitie) (LCD-80-29)

         On November 29, 1979, we briefed your staff on the
    Federal policy of relocating activities from the Washington,
    D.C., metropolitan area. This report, in response to your
    September 10, 1979, request, summarizes that briefing and
    highlights Federal actions taken.

          Since 1962 the Government's policy has been to relocate
    both civil and defense activities from the Washington area.
    eThe President's national urban policy, announced in March
    1978, committed the Government to relocate activities and
    to procure goods and services in economically distressed
    communities>;

        'In October 1978 the Congress required the Office of
    Management and Budget to study the decentralization of
    Federal Government activities. The report, with recommenda-
    tions, is to be delivered to the Con(gess on January 10, 1980Ix
    We believeVe report will                -          on the type
    and number of organizations and their employees which would
    be affected and the advantages or disadvantages of recommended
    relocations.,

         We have received a congressional request to review the
    report and would be pleased to provide you with our results.
