gi-The Honorable Fortney H. Stark, Jr.
     House of Representatives

     Dear Mr. Stark:


~'a 02S -R


        Your letter of February 12, 1974, asked us to obtain
   historical information on General Services Administration
   (GSA),Roced. pleseding ,, ,otrac0t to the Julian C.    2!    5
Cohen Salvage Corporation for demolition at the proposed
   Federal Home Loan Bank Board building site in the District
   of Columbia. You specifically inquired about the dates the
   contract was offered, the bidcdingmehodsed, and the com-
   panies and bids that were considered.

        We discussed the results of our review of the contract
   award with your office and it was agreed that we would send
   you a written summary of the information we obtained, in-
   cluding a listing of bids GSA received for the demolition
   contract.

        The Federal Home Loan Bank Act, as amended on Novem-
   ber 3, 1966, by Public Law 89-754 (12 U.S.C. 1438 (c)),
   authorizes the Board to use the services of the Adminis-
   trator of General Services for acquiring real property in
   the District and for constructing and equipping buildings
   for the Board and the agencies it supervises.

        The amendment to the act authorized the Board to (1)
   incur obligations of $13.2 million to acquire land and to
   construct and equip buildings and (2) finance acquisition
   of land and buildings from assessments against, or advances
   of funds by, the Federal home loan banks. On November 26,
   1969, Public Law 91-126 increased the obligating authority
   from $13.2 million to $21.6 million.
