This appropriation covers relocation costs involved in moving agencies from valuable underutilized property, targeted
for public sale, to facilities determined to be more economically suitable to their needs. Relocation and disposal is considered when the benefit/cost ratio is at least 2:1. The sale of
these valuable underutilized properties would provide significant revenue to the Treasury and would far outweigh the
relocation costs involved. The unallocated balance as of the
end of 1996 is $1.547 million.
No appropriation is requested for this program in 1998.
GSA will solicit relocation proposals from agencies and request funds to implement those proposals that have the highest economic benefit to the Government.

The budget reflects a legislative proposal to retire debt
(principal and interest) to the United States Treasury incurred by the former Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation (PADC). The Omnibus Appropriations Act of 1996
mandated dissolution of the PADC as of April 1, 1996, but
did not address the PADC’s outstanding debt to the Treasury.
A legislative proposal will be submitted concurrent with the
President’s Budget which will provide the requisite authorization and funding to retire this debt.

The Public Buildings Service (PBS) has worked hard to
become an organization that looks and acts more like a private sector competitor than a federal bureaucracy. PBS has
reorganized along major business lines representing the services it provides. The major business lines include: Property
Acquisition and Realty Services (satisfying tenant agency
space requirements); Property Development (construction and
modernization and repair and alterations of federally-owned

space); Property Management (managing, operating, repairing
and maintaining federal space); Portfolio Management (managing real estate assets to ensure efficient planning, return
on investment and use); Federal Protective Service (law enforcement and security within GSA-controlled buildings); and
Property Disposal (utilization and disposal of excess Federal
real property). This reorganization is consistent with the initiative to privatize real property services.
The Federal Buildings Fund finances the activities of the
Public Buildings Service which provides space and services
for Federal agencies in a relationship similar to that of landlord and tenant.
The Fund, established in 1975, replaces direct appropriations by using income derived from rent assessments which
approximate commercial rates for comparable space and services. Rent and other income to the Fund is as follows:

Construction and acquisition of facilities.—Space is acquired
through the construction or purchase of facilities and prospectus-level extensions to existing buildings. All costs directly
attributable to site acquisition, construction, and the full
range of design and construction services and management
and inspection of construction projects are funded under this
activity.
Repairs and alterations.—Repairs and alterations of public
buildings as well as associated design and construction services are funded under this activity. Protection of the Government’s investment, health and safety of building occupants,
transfer of agencies from leased space, and cost effectiveness
are the principal criteria used in establishing priorities. Primary consideration is given to repairs to prevent deterioration
and damage to buildings, their support systems, and operating equipment. This activity also provides for conversion of
existing facilities and non-prospectus extensions.
Installment acquisition payments.—Payments are made for
liabilities incurred under purchase contract authority and
lease purchase arrangements. The periodic payments cover
principal, interest, and other requirements. Purchase contract
authority, which provided for private investment capital financing of public buildings, expired at the end of 1975.
Rental of space.—Space is acquired through the leasing of
buildings including space occupied by Federal agencies in U.S.
Postal Service facilities. This program will provide an estimated 138 million square feet in 1997 and 131 million square
feet in 1998.
Building operations.—Services are provided for Government-owned and leased facilities, including cleaning, utilities
and fuel, protection, maintenance, miscellaneous services
(such as moving, evaluation of new materials and equipment,
and field supervision), and general management and administration of all real property related programs including salaries
and benefits paid from the Federal Buildings Fund. The following list shows the 1997 and 1998 direct program (estimated square feet and expenses in millions):

The Federal Buildings Fund program consists of the following activities financed from rent charges:

Other programs.—When requested by Federal agencies, the
Public Buildings Service provides building services such as
tenant alterations, cleaning and other operations, and protection services which are in excess of those services provided
under the commercial rental charge. For presentation purposes the balances of the Unconditional Gifts of Real, Personal, or Other Property trust fund have been combined with
the Federal Buildings Fund.
Prior year project and activities funded from budget year
income.—Actual income for fiscal year 1996 and estimated
income for fiscal year 1997 will be $681 million less than
the estimated amounts included in the fiscal year 1997 President’s Budget. Consequently, funds in this amount must be
provided again in fiscal year 1998, to be funded from fiscal
year 1998 revenue to the Federal Buildings Fund.
Agency debt.—The following table reflects agency debt outstanding for the construction of federal buildings under authorities previously provided:

Public Law 99–88 provided that expenses of Transportation
Audit Contracts and Contract Administration activities shall
be financed from overcharges collected from carriers on transportation bills paid by the Government and other similar
type refunds. Public Law 99–627 granted GSA authority to
delegate to the Government agencies prepayment audit of
their transportation bills before they pay transportation carriers, permanent authority to pay transportation audit contractors from carrier overcharges collected, and authority to
transfer net overpayments collected to the Treasury. Public
Law 103–123 provided that additional expenses be financed
from overpayments collected from carriers.
In 1996, $11 million of carrier overpayments were collected,
and $5 million was returned to the U.S. Treasury. Due to
downsizing and cost containment, overpayment collections
should fully cover program costs commencing in fiscal year
1998.

This fund finances, on a reimbursable basis, a national
supply distribution system, a system of ordering supplies for
direct delivery to agencies, a system providing for the management, on a worldwide basis, for the sale of surplus personal property for agencies, a system of transportation and
travel management which ensures discounted rates for lodging, transportation, and small package mailings for Federal
customers, and a system of interagency Federal Fleet Management Centers. Legislation was enacted in fiscal year 1988
to authorize full cost recovery for all supply management,
operating, and overhead expenses related to providing goods
and services to other agencies through the General Supply
Fund. Full cost recovery pricing results in the true cost of
supplies and services being reflected in charges to agencies.
In 1997, the Information Technology Multiple Award Schedules Program was consolidated into the Supply Schedules Program in the General Supply Fund. In 1998, the Supply Schedules and Transportation and Travel Management Programs
will complete their transition from appropriated funding to
the General Supply Fund.
Supply operations.—
Stores, regular.—Stock of common-use commodities is
purchased in volume, stocked, and issued through supply
facilities to Government agencies. Sales were $948 million
in 1996 and are estimated to be $881 million in 1997 and
$873 million in 1998. Each year, GSA performs a ‘‘market
basket’’ survey comparing the commercial price to the GSA
price for 120 commonly used office supplies. Survey results

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

showed GSA prices to be, on average, 22% lower than major
commercial retailers. In terms of service, the percentage
of requisitions filled from stock within 15 days was 96%,
exceeding the goal of 93%, and requisitions were shipped
in an average of 7.4 days versus a goal of 10 days.
Stores, direct delivery.—Orders for store-type items, if sufficiently large and delivery time is not a factor, are placed
with the commercial source of supply for delivery directly
to the customer. Sales were $63 million in 1996, and are
estimated to be $62 million in 1997, and $61 million in
1998.
Special orders.—Definite quantity requirements of commodities which are not susceptible to economical stocking
in supply facilities are purchased for direct shipment to
user agencies. Sales were $1,439 million in 1996, and are
estimated to be $1,420 million in 1997, and $1,406 million
in 1998.
Schedules.—This contracting function provides a governmentwide supply support program of commercial items and
information technology items required by Federal agencies
and other authorized users. Sales were $19 million in 1996
and are expected to be $30 million in 1997 and $32 million
in 1998. The on-line electronic catalog system, GSA Advantage, currently contains 85,000 stock items available for
electronic shopping. By September 1997, the universe of
supply products, over 4 million items, will be available online.
Miscellaneous.—The Personal Property Sales Program
sales were $15 million in 1996 and are estimated to be
$12 million in 1997 and $4 million in 1998. The Transportation and Travel Management Program sales were $2 million in 1996 and are estimated to be $3 million in 1997
and $4 million in 1998. The GSA Standard Tender of Service saved an estimated $95 million through agreements
with motor carriers for freight shipments in 1996. The Next
Day Small Package Program saved $40 million, achieving
a price break of 36% compared to equivalent commercial
rates.
Federal Fleet Management Centers.—Services are provided through a system of Fleet Management Centers. Sales
were $713 million in 1996, and are estimated to be $793
million in 1997 and $795 million in 1998. GSA’s fleet management system has kept its operating costs fairly level
since 1993, with the average cost per mile fluctuating less
than 3% from 1993 through 1996. During this same period,
cost per mile dropped from 27.6 to 27.3 cents.
In fiscal year 1998, GSA plans to meet quotas for alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) procurements contained in the
Energy Policy Act of 1992. GSA plans on requesting funds
from each federal agency, for their prorata share of the
incremental cost in procuring the AFVs.

The Information Technology Fund was authorized by the
Paperwork Reduction Reauthorization Act of 1986, as included in Public Laws 99–500 and 99–591, section 821(a)(1).
The Fund was established as of January 1, 1987, and consists
of the assets, liabilities and capital of the Federal Telecommunications Fund and the Automatic Data Processing
Fund. The purpose of the fund is to help ensure that automatic data processing, telecommunications, and other information technologies are acquired and used by the Federal
Government in a manner which improves service delivery
and program management, increases productivity, improves
the quality of decisionmaking, reduces waste and fraud, and
wherever practicable and appropriate, reduces the information

processing burden for the Federal Government and for persons who provide information to and for the Federal Government.
The fund provides information technology resources to Federal agencies for promoting use of the latest technology to
deliver services, and for the efficient management, coordination, operation, and use of such resources.
Levels of funding for capital investments and for operating
capital are determined through the submission and approval
process of planned cost and capital requirements to OMB
by GSA pursuant to section 110(a)(1), Federal Property and
Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended by Public
Law 99–591.
The Information Technology Fund finances, on a reimbursable basis, the following Government-wide IT programs and
services:
Federal Telecommunications Service (FTS).—The FTS provides Government-wide telecommunications services to all
Federal agencies. The Interagency Management Council
(IMC) serves as a Board of Directors for the development,
coordination, and customer-driven oversight of the Federal
telecommunications program.
FTS2000 Long Distance Telecommunications Service.—Provides long-distance telecommunications services to more than
1.7 million users through two ten-year multi-billion dollar
FTS2000 contracts awarded to AT&T and Sprint in December
1988. The contracts provide the Government with low-cost,
state-of-the-art, integrated voice, data and video telecommunications services. The contracts provide for ‘‘services’’ rather
than equipment. GSA’s role is to oversee and manage the
provision of those services. Responsibilities include several
IMC-approved government-wide initiatives aimed at lowering
the cost while improving the quality and access to new services. The Blue Pages Project offers a significant opportunity
to improve customer access to government services by improving the way government services are listed in telephone directories. Also included in this activity is the GSA support to
government-wide national security emergency preparedness
plans and ensuring that the critical telecommunications needs
of the Government are available during local, national, and
international crises.
Regional Telecommunications Services.—Provides nationwide consolidated local telecommunications service, aggregated access to FTS2000, and competitively procured contracts for equipment maintenance and services. To take advantage of the changing local telecommunications marketplace GSA has initiated the Metropolitan Area Acquisition
(MAA). The MAA will leverage market forces to gain immediate and significant price reductions, offer federal agencies
flexibility in choosing services, and encourage interagency aggregation and sharing of telecommunications resources consistent with agency requirements and budgets.
Information Security.—Provides worldwide information
technology support services to all Government activities, including our nation’s allies, conducting classified, sensitive but
unclassified, diplomatic or military missions on a non-mandatory, fully reimbursable basis. To meet this responsibility,
the program participates in the development of Governmentwide information security policies and provides a comprehensive range of information security technical services necessary
to manage and support mission critical information systems.
Information Technology Integration.—This activity is comprised of several non-mandatory programs aimed at meeting
client needs in the acquisition and effective use of information
technology resources. The Federal Information Systems Support Program, (FISSP) provides information systems services
to Federal agencies in the areas of IT business applications,
facilities management, software definition and design, scientific/engineering applications and computer security. Services are provided through regional contracts with private sec-

tor vendors tailored to local market conditions and needs of
client Federal agencies. The Federal Systems Integration and
Management Center (FEDSIM) manages Government-wide
contracts to meet the needs of agencies that elect to outsource
their IT requirements. Services include Federal Information
Processing resources acquisition, systems integration, software management, information technology facilities management, local area network implementation, and networking.
The Federal Computer Acquisition Center (FEDCAC) provides
support in the competitive acquisition of large dollar value
(more than $100 million) non-developmental computer systems and associated services. The Information Services Technical Support (ISTS) Program provides GSA-wide information
infrastructure for data communications and National Systems
Program in support of GSA business lines.
