MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security
Chief, Administrative Law Division/OGC
FROM: Legislation Division
Office of Congressional Affairs
Powers of the Security Protective Officers
1. A provision in the Treasury Appropriations Pill, as passed
by each house of Congress, states that guards of Federal buildings
have powers of special policemen as provided by 40 U.S.C. 316, but
are not restricted to Federal property. While this statement is
made with respect to the availability of funds to the General
Services Administration (GSA), the section further states that
when the GSA Administrator delegates the authority to protect
buildings to the head of the affected agency, that agency's guards
have the powers just described. Accordingly, should it be
necessary to expand the jurisdiction of the Agency's Security
Protective officers, this provision would provide the means to do
so. It is not at all clear ?iow the oversight committees would
respond to this interpretati3n, however.
