handle is hein.gao/gaobadcan0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Com9nfuer Gteei fWr'Zls 7 ofttheUdtedbStat d' Waiiagtom, DC. 08 - Decision Hatter of: GSA Authority to Lease New Space for Child Care Facilities rile: B-239708 -Date* January 31, 1991 . DIGEST. The General Services Administration (GSA) may lease space or ' construct buildings specifically for child care facilities if there is insufficient space available for such purposes in its existing inventory,: The Trible amendment, 40 U.S.C, S 490b, authorizes officials controlling space in federal buildings to provide space for child care facilities if, among other requirements, such space is available, Because a restrictive reading of the space available language (in light of the limitbd existing inventory of appropriate space in federal buildings) would effectively preclude GSA from providing space for child care; and because the legislative .* history of the Federal Credit Union Act, upon which the Trible amendment is modeled, iadicates that the space available language was not intended to limit agency ability to provide facilitiesfor credit unions, we interpret the statute as permitting GSA to acquire space to make it available for child care facilities. To the extent it is inconsistent with this decision, 67 Comp. Gen. 443 (1988) is overruled. DECISION The General Counsel of the General Services Administration (GSA), Washington, D.C., asks whether GSA has authority to * lease additional space or construct facilities for child care centers for federal employees. For the reasons indicated below, we hold that GSA has such authority.
