              Uited States
GAO          General Accounting Office
             Washington, D.C. 20548

             General Government Division
             B-260119


             December 15, 1995


             The Honorable William S. Cohen
             Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight of Government
               Management and the District of Columbia
             Committee on Governmental Affairs
             United States Senate

             Dear Mr. Chairman:

             We are writing to you because of your long-standing
             interest in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of
             the federal government's property disposition activities.
             In August 1995, we briefed your office on legislatively
             mandated work we have carried out that examined the
             feasibility of consolidating into a single agency the
             property disposition programs of four federal entities.'

             In the briefing, we discussed some of the impediments
             that would need to be addressed by Congress, as well as
             by any federal entities involved in any such
             consolidation. These impediments include (1) conflicting
             legislative requirements, (2) differing practices and
             procedures, and (3) lack of support for making changes.
             We also identified some ongoing efforts to improve
             cooperation and coodination between federal entities
             disposing of properties. These efforts have the
             potential to improve disposition activities without
             consolidating property disposal activities in a single
             agency.

             We obtained oral comments on a draft of this letter from
             representatives of the Department of the Treasury
             (Treasury), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC),
             Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC), U.S. Department of
             Agriculture (USDA) and Housing and Urban Development
             (HUD). Their comments have been incorporated in this
             letter.



             112 USC §1821 note (1994) (Single Agency for Real
             Property Disposition).
