The report discusses:

   --The lack of compliance by many Fed-
   eral agencies with the requirement of
   section 901(b) of the Agricultural Act
   of 1970, as amended, that policies and
   procedures be established giving first
   priority to locating Federal offices and
   facilities in rural areas.

   --The limited effect of the law on Fed-
   eral employment in rural areas.

   --The factors affecting site selection deci-
   sions, many of which run counter to
   the objective of the act.

GAO believes that additional congressional
guidance is needed on selecting sites for Fed-
eral facilities.
