handle is hein.gao/gaobabcbs0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ONITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 PROCUREMENT, LOGISTICS, AND READINESS DIVISION B-202333 JUNE 26, 1981 The Honorable Mark S. Fowler Chairman, Federal Communications Commission Dear Mr. Fowler: 115648 Subject: LFCC Did Not Act in the Government's Best ;nterest in Acquiring Leased Space (PLRD-81-39) We have completed our review of the five leases for office space which the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) nego- tiated under its independent leasing authority. Four of those leases provide approximately 64,000 square feet of space at an annual cost of about $773,000. The remaining lease, which expired in December 1980, provided 6,162 square feet at a total cost of nearly $64,000. At the request of the Chairmen, Subcommittee on Public Buildings and Grounds, House Committee on Public Works and Transportation, and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, we reviewed proposed terms and conditions of two additional leases which FCC had planned to enter into for con- solidated office space in Rosslyn, Virginia. Those leases would have provided about 375,000 square feet of space at an estimated annual cost of $6.4 million. (See enc. II.) We reported orally to the House Subcommittee and the Senate Committee on a number of issues concerning the Rosslyn leases. Some of those issues are included in this report. FCC's independent leasing authority is set to expire in September 1981, pending congressional action on the continuing resolution for FCC's fiscal 1981 appropriation. In addition, following a March 18, 1981, hearing of the House Subcommittee on Public Buildings and Grounds, FCC voted to defer action on Rosslyn or any alternative location for consolidated space until the Senate confirmed your appointment as FCC chairman.
