Chairman, Subcommittee on Military

Dear Mr. Chairman:

     Subject: Standard Level User Charges Assessed to the
               Department of Defense by the General Services
               Administration  (LCD-80-18)

     This report is in response to your June 6, 1979,   equas t
concerning standard level user charges assessed to the Depart&   c
ment of Defense by the General Services Administration. You
asked us to determine whether the objectives of Public Law
92-313 are being met and complied with and whether the Depart-
ment is receiving equitable treatment. Our review was pri-
marily concerned with (1) the computation of annual rental
charges assessed the Department and (2) the reasonableness
of those charges.

     As stated in our July 5, 1979, letter, we did not
address those areas dealing with services paid for by the
Department (reimbursables), overtime services, and level of
cleaning service provided by General Services to the Depart-
ment, since they are the subject of ongoing reviews. We will
send you copies of the reports on these reviews when they are
completed.

     Public Law 92-313, dated June 16, 1972, authorizes and
directs General Services to charge agencies for the space
they occupy and services rendered. The law states that the
charges (rental payments) shall approximate commercial charges
for comparable space and services. The law, however, does
not contain any criteria or guidance for computing comparable
commercial rates.

     The rents to be collected from all tenant agencies in
fiscal year 1980 are estimated at $1.5 billion for about 277
million square feet of space, including parking, of which
about $200 million will be collected from the Department for
about 40 million square feet of space. These collections
