D.C. 20548 B-177610 APR 26 1976 The 41onorable Tom Stead, Chairman Subcomittee on Treasury, Postal Service and General GovenmeAt Committee on Appropriations - House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Reference is made to your reetnt letter concerning the General Servicoe Administration (GSA) use of the purohase contract method of financing for two Federal projects, one in Anchorage, Alaska and the other in Atlanta, Georgia. You request our opinion as to whether such use constitutes a violation of either section 3(g) of tho Public Buildings Amendments of 1972, approved June 16, 1972, Pub. L. Wo. 92-313, 86 Stat. 220, 40 U.S.C. I 602a(g) (Supp. IV, 1974), or section 507 of the Treasury, Postal Service* and Cen- oral Government Appropriations Act, 1976, approved Auguet 9, 1975, Pub. L. No. 94-91, 89 Stat. 457. Section 5(g) of Pub. L. No, 92-313, provides: No purchase contract shall be entered into under the authotity granted under this section after the end of the third 4iscal yearvWhich begins after the date of enactment of this section. Since the Act was approved by the President on June 16, 1972, the authority for eatering into purchase contracts thereunder ended on Juno 30, 1975. Soc- tion 507 of the Treaaury, Postal Service, and General Government Appropria- tionsAct, 1976, providest None of the funds available under this Act shall be available for administrative expenses in connection aith the exedution of purchase contracts pursuant to nection 5 of the Public Buildingo Amendments of 1972 (Ptblic Law 92- 313) durina the period beginning July 1, 19759 and ending Septomber 30, 197G. The net affect of both of those provisions of law is, therefore, to pro- hibit the antering into or e:ecuting of purchase contracts after June 30, 1975. Before considering the application to the two projects involved, it is necessary to outline the relevant statutory framework.
