RL,,SE WASHINGTON. D.C. 20MW8 DEC 1 4 1973 B-114874 The Honorable Charles E. Bennett House of Representatives Dear Mr. Bennett: This report responds to a letter to you from Mr. J.A. Marable, dated July 30, 1973, concerning certain Postal Service expenses for outfitting its new headquarters > u iding (commonly called the West Building) at L'Enfant Plaza and for travel by the Postmaster General. Mr. Marable's letter, which you sent to the Department of Justice, was re- ferred to us because we have overall responsibility for re- viewing the activities and operations of the Postal Service. COST OF FURNISHINGS The Postal Service will spend about $48,500 to furnish the Postmaster General's office area and $130,600 to fur- nish the official reception, press conference, and Board of Governors' areas, The furnishings are being purchased primarily on a sole-source or negotiated-contract basis because, according to Postal Service officials, there was not sufficient time to solicit competitive bids. The Postmaster General's office area, on the 10th floor, consists of (1) the Postmaster General's office, which in- cludes a lounge, a lavatory, a conference room, and a pantry, and (2) four administrative staff offices, a reception room, a receptionist's area, and a lavatory. The Postmaster Gen- eral and 10 other Postal Service employees will occupy these areas, The Postal Service has spent or will spend about $48,500 to furnish the Postmaster General's office area. (See enc. I.) These expenses are based on actual purchase order prices or contractor estimates.
