Operations., we have examined into the plans of the General Services Administration (GSA) for construction of a Federal records facilit-r ,on excess Federal land at Fort Miley in San Francisco. The propoa 3d facility was to have been devoted to the storage of Federal agency records and would have, in addition, served an archival function which included the storage of permanent records and the provision of search rooms to be used for scholarly research. GSA was able to obtain funds for a new Federal records storage facility because a GSA building stood in the path of a planned inter- state highway. The State agreed to pay $2,98 million into an escrow account for GSA's use (91.5 percent of the cost of the highway project to be financed with Federal. funds and 8,5 percent with State of California funds). At the same time GSA had, as the Government's administrator of excess property, a choice of several parcels of land declared, or to be declared, excess by the Department of Defense. Although GSA, in selecting the 1204-acre Fort Miley site, showed an overriding concern for the archival function of the proposed records ........r a ity, the facility is to be basically a warehouse-type structure with about 90 percent of the space devoted to storage of Federal agencies' records not classified as archives. The proposed warehouse-type structure appears to be inappropriate for the Fort Miley site which furnishes vistas of the Golden Gate and the Pacific Ocean and which is appraised at $1.35 million. At the time of our review in May 1970, construction of the records storage facility at Fort Miley was opposed by local citizens, neighbor- hood organizations, and the city and county of San Francisco, all of whom want this historic site conserved as open land and dedicated to the use of the public. 0 8.
