the efficiency and effectiveness of the
management of the Public Buildings

ministration. I urge my colleagues to
approve this needed legislation.

Senate and the Oomnalttee On Public
Works and Transportation of 4he

agency may lease apace to nozowano-
date the following: .a)or computer
operations; secure or securfty sensitive
activities related to the national de-
fense or security, -except when inap-
propriate to locate mach hi a public fa-
cility or facility identified with the
Federal Government and offices that
require major alterations in the struc-
ture or mechanical system of the
building. The purpose of this provision
Is to miohnise the cost to the Govern-
ment of leasing space.
However, most of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency's leased space falls
within these categories. Section b(e) of
the Central Intelligence Agency Act of
1949 permits the Agency to make al-
terations, Improvements, and repairs
on the premises it leases without
regard to cost, so king as the Director
certifies that these actions are neces-
sary for the succeasful performance of
the Agency's functions Or the security
of its activities. Further. section 6 of
that same law exempts the Agency
from providing information regarding
Its functions. In addition. section It of
the CIA Act authorizes the Agency,
notwithstanding any other law, to
expend sums for other purposes neces-
sary to carry out its functions. Both
purposes may include acquiring neces-
sary land and renting and operating
buildings. In order to protect classified
information in the interest of national
security. It is important that the CIA's
rights in these areas be preserrecl.
Section 5 of the bill allows OSA to
turn over Federal land or interests to a
State whenever GSA considers it desir-
able. The committee believes that the
CIA, not the GSA, is in the best posi-
tion to decide when such action is ap-
propriate for the CIA's buildings.
This section also requires that GSA
not commit to the construction of a
building for lease to an agency Until ft-
has established specifications for each
building. Publication of such specifics-
tions could constitute a breach of secu-
rity with respect to Agency buildings
This argument also holds true for that
portion of section 5 requiring competi-
tive bids for buildings constructed for
lease to an agency. Also, the Agency
expressed concern regarding the ls.n-
guage requiring GSA Inspection of
such buildings.
To assure the integrity of our Ne
-
tine's vital national security function
I urge my colleagues to adopt the com-
mittee's amendment to S. 2186

CONGRESSIONAL RECOF_D 'SFNATE
This bill was reported last month by
the Senate Committee on Environ-
ment and Public Works with only two
minor amendments.
The reforms in this bill include:
Raising from $500,000 to $2 million
the threshold level at which GSA
must submit to Congress a prospectus
for a major acquisition or alteration of
space;
Granting GSA statutory authority
to relinquish legislative jurisdiction, so
that where it is appropriate local law
enforcement agencies may protect
Federal properties;
Expanding the statutory authority
for GSA's security and law enforce-
ment functions to all buildings and
areas that are under the charge and
control of the agency; and
Eliminating the cap on alterations to
leased space to a cost of no more than
25 percent of the amount to be paid
during the initial year of the lease.
The House of Representatives
passed a public buildings reform meas-
ure last December. The House bill.
H.R. 2790, contained two controversial
provisions which are likely to impede
enactment of this needed legislation.
Section 5 of the House bill author-
izes the General Services Administra-
tion to acquire public buildings Using
time financing. I favor the concept of
time financing, or lease-purchase. Last
year the Committee on Environment
and Public Works, in legislation which
later became law, approved the lease-
purchase of the International Cultural
and Trade Center to be built on the
Federal Triangle. Soon the committee
will report to the Senate legislation
authorizing time financing for the
construction of a new building, to be
located on Capitol Grounds, for the
Federal itidiPinrY. However, the ad-
ministration is opposed to the generic
authorization of time financing con-
tained in H.R. 2790 and has threat-
ened a veto if this provision is Included
in the measure passed by Congress.
S. 2186 also does not include the
House bill's requirement that Federal
buildings be constructed in compliance
with nationally recognized building
codes and local zoning laws. The Gen-
eral Services Administration asserts
that this provision will unduly delay
projects and cause lengthy discussions
between Federal and local authorities
over even minor alterations to Federal
buildings.
Mr. President, this bill is the result
of an administration proposal forward-
ed to the Congress over a year ago.
The reforms that would be effected by
the enactment of this measure would
greatly improve the management of
our Nation's Public Buildings Pro-
gram. I urge my colleagues to support
this legislation.

ment.
The amendment ( N o. 2105) was
