3. Jack Eckerd, Administrator of General Services
Nicholas A. Panuzio, Commissioner, Public Buildings Service,
GSA
STATINTL
a. Relationshipswith Messrs. Eckerd and Panuzio of the
Central Office of GSA have been established to discuss
highest executive-level policy with regard to the GSA
federal role in provision, alteration, and disposal of STATINTL
real property, personal property, telecommunications,
and automated data processing equipment services.
b. Under provisions of Public Buildings Act of 1949, the
Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of

highly visible and quasi-political positions. They
are included in this list because of the possibility
of reassignment under a new administration. Both are
contacted relatively frequently on policy matters re-
lating to GSA services.
b. The legal basis for these contacts is as per 3 above.
5. Leslie W. Bray, Jr. (BG/USAF Ret)
Director, Federal Preparedness Agency
General Services Administration
Executive Order 11490 (October 1969) consolidated the
assignment of emergency preparedness functions of the
various departments and agencies. It also required that
agencies develop emergency plans in accordance with guidance
provided by the Director of the Office of Emergency Prepared-
ness, now the Federal Preparedness Agency (FPA). The emer-
gency planning functions of CIA are subject to the guidance
of FPA and in responding to that guidance, we are in contact
with General Bray and the various office/division heads under
him.
6. Hugh Witt, Administrator for Federal Procurement Policy
Office of Management and Budget
The O:rfice of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) is concerned
solely with federal procurement matters. The Director of
Logistics, as senior contracting officer for CIA, is, therefore,
the logical interface and liaison with that office. Further,
the OFPP is involved with implementation of recommendations
by the President's Commission on Government Procurement (COGP).
The DI)/MFS, in 1973, assigned the responsibility for inter-
facin?; with COGP to the Office of Logistics. The current
liaison with OFPP is a natural extension of that relationship.
