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

             General Government Division
             B-260119.2

             February 1, 1996

             The Honorable James A. Leach
             Chairman
             The Honorable Henry B. Gonzalez
             Ranking Minority Member
             Committee on Banking and Financial Services
             House of Representatives

             As required by the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC)
             Completion Act,' we examined the feasibility of setting
             up a single federal agency to sell and otherwise
             dispose of the real property owned or held by the
             Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the
             Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) of the Department of
             Agriculture (USDA),2 the Federal Deposit Insurance
             Corporation (FDIC), and RTC.3 We identified 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 coordination between federal entities disposing of



             'The Resolution Trust Corporation Completion Act, P.L.
             103-204, 107 Stat 2369, 2409-2410 (1993).
             2The Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of
             Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994, P.L. 103-354, 108
             Stat 3218, 3209-3238 (1994), reorganized USDA. Under
             this reorganization, FmHA was abolished and the
             Consolidated Farm Services Agency and the Rural Housing
             and Community Development Services within USDA now have
             responsibility for farm properties and housing
             dispositions, respectively.

             3 As required by the RTC Completion Act, RTC ceased
             operations on December 31, 1995. Its asset disposition
             functions were transferred to FDIC but continue to
             operate under RTC procedures as a separate unit within
             FDIC.
