      Subject: GSA's Actions to Acquire Leased Space for
                the Western Area Power Administration
                (LCD-80-33)

 Dear Mr. Chairman:

      On June 6, 1979, you asked us to review the actions
 taken by the General Services Administration (GSA) in    '7
 obtaining office and other space for the Western Area Poweruc2o ,315
 Administration's (WAPA's) headquarters in De-ver, Colozrd.
 -OU specifically asked us to determine (1) what additional
 lease and remodeling costs, if any, would be incurred by
 locating WAPA headquarters downtown rather than near the
 Denver Federal Center, (2) the impact on training and
..research and development missions if WAPA is moved to the
downtown area, and (3) whether GSA followed policy,
statutory, and regulatory requirements in handling WAPA's
request for space.

      During our review, we looked at GSA region 8 files
 and discussed the actions and progress on WAPA's request
 with GSA regional officials and WAPA officials who were
 directly involved in the space request.

      In September 1979, GSA's central officb initiated a
 reevaluation of the steps taken to provide space for WAPA.
 As suggested in your October 29, 1979, letter, we waited
 for the outcome of this reevaluation so that we could
 include these new developments in our report.

      GSA has not yet decided where WAPA will be located.
 Therefore we are unable to determine what costs will be
 attributable to WAPA's new location. If WAPA is moved to
 downtown Denver it will be farther from the Bureau of
 Reclamation. We do not believe this move will seriously
 affect WAPA's ability to carry out its mission. It appears
 that GSA's handling of WAPA's request for space was generally
 in compliance with policy, statutory, and regulatory require-
 ments.                                1    S2j
