Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn. said: “I am pleased the Committee has acted on this legislation today, which will help improve government performance - a necessary goal at all times but even more essential during periods of economic weakness. This Committee’s longstanding efforts to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the federal government are reinforced by these bills."
Ranking Member Senator Susan Collins, R-Maine, said: “I am particularly pleased that our committee has given its approval to legislation that would improve the process for disposing of unneeded federal buildings. There are far too many instances where the cost of maintaining an excess federal building far outweighs the benefit of keeping it on the federal inventory," “This is a good, bipartisan bill that will help the federal government dispose of unused property and save taxpayer money in the process."
