Pickle Chairman, Subcommittee on Social Security Committee on Ways and Means House of Representatives The Honorable Charles B. Rangel Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight 114723 Committee on Ways and Means House of Representatives Subject: gatus of Social Security Field Office Space Needs(HRD-81-64) On May 20, 1980, we testified before the Social Security and Oversight Subcommittees of the House Committee on Ways and Means on problems the Social Security Administration (SSA) was having with the General Services Administration (GSA) in obtaining ade- quate field office space in a timely manner. During the hearings Chairman Pickle requested us to continue looking into this matter. In later discussions we agreed to furnish information on the number of SSA field office space requests satisfied by GSA during fiscal year 1980 and the change in the number of requests outstanding between the beginning and end of the fiscal year. In addition, since questions arose about the feasibility of delegating leasing authority to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to handle SSA space needs, we agreed to obtain information from two agencies that had been delegated leasing authority and provide some further perspectives based on actual experience. We obtained the data in this letter from the headquarters of SSA, HHS, and GSA. The data have been discussed with headquar- ters officials and are being reported without verification even though the agencies do not agree on the accuracy and reliability of each other's data. We are doing so because the variances do not, in our opinion, preclude using the data as an indicator of GSA's overall performance regarding SSA's office space needs and because of the Subcommittees' interest in a timely followup report.
