2. Background:
a. The General Services Administration (GSA)
is responsible for building maintenance and janitorial

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
In my Environmental Message of May 23, 1977, I
indicated my interest in implementing waste paper
recycling programs to the extent practicable, in

These programs should be established in keeping
with the guidelines issued by the Environmental

General Services Administration and the Environmental
Protection Agency.
