     Dear Mr. Ash:                                           LM095958

           We have examined into the consistency of sace
     allocat     yb    r          gnies to employees associa-
     tions and the charges made for use of this space and related
     services ia-.t o. Our survey suggests a
     need for an overall Government policy that would provide
     guidance in a_1Llsti      e~ meid s         Go-exn etA f.4 -



           Although Federal agencies have generally encouraged
     the establishment of employees associations, the agencies
     have not been uniform in providing the associations space
     and services. Consequently there is wide disparity among
     the associations and apparent inequities concerning their
     use of Federal property. The associations' major sources
     of revenue and major uses of space and services are employee-
     convenience enterprises which the associations either operate
     directly or contract to concessionaires for a share of the
     gross revenue.

            There are about 200 employees associations situated in
     32 Federal civil agencies throughout the United States which
     have reported over $34 million in annual gross revenues from
     dry cleaning and shoe repair: services and such enterprises
     as cafeterias, transient housing, vending machines, service
     stations, parking facilities, barbershops, and various shops
     for sales of stereo and TV equipment, greeting cards, snacks,
     sundries, and clothing. The number, size, and types of
     enterprises varied widely among the associations.

            The following table shows the wide range in gross
     revenue reported by these employees associations.
