B-245097 1 (1991-09-20)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadtli0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 B-245097 September 20, 1991 The Honorable Dennis DeConcini Chairman, Subcommittee on Treasury, Postal Service and General Government Committee on Appropriations United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: In your letter of July 27, 1991, you requested that we review expenditures made by the United States Marshals Service for remodeling office space and issue an opinion on whether Marshals Service Director K. Michael Moore had violated section 614 of Public Law 101-1361/ with respect to these expenditures. Section 614 limits to $5,000 the amount that may be used to furnish or redecorate the office of a presidential appointee without specific approval from the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and House of Representatives. With your letter you provided a copy of an Associated Press news story discussing the remodeling work done at the Marshals Service headquarters. Upon receipt of your letter, we asked Director Moore to provide us with a report on the remodeling and his interpretation of section 614. We also physically inspected the Marshals Service facilities. For the reasons indicated below, we conclude that in authorizing the remodeling of the Marshals Service offices Director Moore did not violate section 614. 1/In your letter you actually asked whether section 614 of Public Law 101-509, the fiscal year 1991 Treasury-Postal Service appropriation act, was violated. However, since the questioned remodeling was funded with fiscal year 1990 appropriations, we addressed the identical provision (also section 614) in the fiscal year 1990 appropriation act, Public Law 101-136
