C. 2054E I1an /' i 7l')A 5~/A 6 JUNf 4 r 7 JUN 1 5 1979 D/A E: OF: U. S. Fire Administration-Sale of Marjorie Webster Junior College Pursuant to Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974, U.,S. Fire Administration purchased Marjorie Webster Junior College as site for National Academy for Fire Prevention and Control. As a result of controversy over the site, Congress, in Pub. L. No. 95-422 (October 5, 1978) authorized Administrator to sell Marjorie Webster site and retain proceeds, within limits, for acquisition and improvement of new site. Since Pub. L. No. 95-422 is later and more specific enactment of Congress, it authorizes Administrator to sell Marjorie Webster site without regard to requirements of Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949. 'This decision is in response to a letter from the Administrator, U. S. Fire AdDepartment of Commerce, asking whether the Fire Administration is authorized to sell the former Marjorie Web- ster Junior College without regard to the requirements of ederal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949. For the reasons given below, the question is answered in the affirmative. Section 7 of the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (the Act), 15 U. S. C. § 2206 (1976), directed the establishment of a National Academy for Fire Prevention and Control and authorized the Secretary of Commerce o seect a site for its Location. Pursuant to this authority, the Secretary selected the former campus of Marjorie Webster Junior College (Campus). On May 4, 1977, Congress appro- priated $2, 850, 000 for the purchase and renovation of the Campus (Pub. L. No. 95-26, 91 Stat. 61, 91), and on May 26, 1977, the Campus was purchased. Subsequently, problems developed concerning the use of the Campus as the Academy site. These problems were discussed during hearings on the Second Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1978, Pub. L. No. 95-355 (September 8, 1978), 92 Stat. 523. See Hearings on the Second Supple- mental Appropriations Bill for Fiscal Year T78 before Siubcommittees 4P#t/4 / C9/ - 11k,
