Authority: Federal Property and Administrat1ve Seiwices Act of

The Federal Property and Admiistxative Services Act of
1949 charged the General Services k,'tinistra%!on (GSA) with
operating the 1;,teragency Motor FJu&.. It was apparently the
Congress' intent that all costs of cperating the motor pool
system vould be fully recovered and that it would te
self-sustaining. Although section 211(d) of the act provides
that payments by Lequisitioning agencies shall be at prices
fixed by the Administrator at levels to recover as lar as
practicable all elemeats of cost, a subsequent section states
that tte purchase price of vehicles is to te recovered through
amortization. This, in effect, precludes the recovery of
replacement costs throuqh charges to customers. Since GSA can
only recover the cost cf the original vehicle, additional funds
required to purchase replacement vehiclss have been obtained
from other sources within the General Supply Fuzd. The use of
qeneral supply funds tc replace vehicles reduces the moneys
available for other supply operaticns. (ERS)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadybf0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
