    Mr.  Alfred C. Maevis
    Assistant  Postmaster General
    Peal  Estate and Buildings
    U.S.  Postal Service

    Dear  Mr. Maevis:

          The General Accounting Office has completed  a limited
     review of the FPostal Service's proaram for identifyina and
     leasing space excess to its operational needs.   This letter
     apprises you of our observations on the effectiveness  of
     the program in the Central and Western Regions.

          Identifying excess space and leasing  such space when-
    ever  possible are important elements of  a good facility
    space  management program.  The Service has  established
    policies  and guidelines for reporting and  leasing excess
    space  and has delegated these responsibilities  to the re-
    gions.   The Central and Western regions,  however, have not
    been  fulfilling these responsibilities.  We  believe an
    opportunity  exists to generate additional  revenues by
    identifying  excess space in Postal facilities  and leasing
    such  space to other government agencies  and commercial
    tenants.

    Postal  policy for leasing excess space

          The Postal Service's policy for  leasing excess space
     in owned and leased facilities requires  postmasters, sec-
     tional center managers, and district managers  to report
     all leasable excess space to the general  manager of the
     regional real estate division.

          Excess space is first to be offered  to the General
     Services Administraticn (GSA) for  assignment to other
     Federal agencies.  If GSA has no  requirement for the
     space, regions can offer it to State,  county, and muni-
     cipal government agencies.   If none of these require the
     space, a suitable tenant is to be  sought in the private
     sector.
