In this section, the words "and in title III of the Federal

Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 U.S.C. 251 et

seq.)" are added to provide an accurate literal translation of the

words "this Act", meaning the Federal Property and Administrative

Services Act of 1949. See the revision note under section 111 of

this title. The definition of "Administrator" is omitted as

unnecessary. The text of 40:472(i) is omitted as unnecessary

because of the definition of "person" in 1:1.

In clause (6), the words "the Northern Mariana Islands, the

Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau" are

substituted for "the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands"

because of the termination of the Trust Territory of the Pacific

This section is added to provide an accurate literal translation

of the words "this Act", meaning the Federal Property and

Administrative Services Act of 1949. In the positive law

codification of title 40, most of the Federal Property and

Administrative Services Act of 1949 is restated as subtitle I of

title 40. However, title III of the Act, which is outside the scope

of the positive law codification, remains classified to the United

States Code as 41 U.S.C. 251 et seq. Where the words "this Act" are

restated, substituting the words "this subtitle" does not yield an

accurate literal translation because "this subtitle" does not

include title III of the Act. This section does not subject any

provision of law to title III of the Act if that provision was not

subject to title III prior to the positive law codification of

title 40.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

In subsection (a), the word "paramount" is omitted as included in

"not subject to any inconsistent provision".

In subsection (c), the words "chapter 91 of title 31" are

substituted for "the Government Corporation Control Act (59 Stat.

597; 31 U.S.C. 841)" in section 602(c) of the Federal Property and

Administrative Services Act of 1949, because of section 4(b) of the

Act of September 13, 1982 (Public Law 97-258, 96 Stat. 1067).

In subsection (e), the text of 40:474(d)(8) is omitted because 50

App.:1171(b) was repealed by section 53 of the Act of August 10,

1956 (ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 641). The text of 40:474(d)(19) is

omitted as obsolete.

In subsection (e)(2), the words "any phase (including, but not

limited to, procurement, storage, transportation, processing, and

disposal) of" and "the fulfillment of" are omitted as unnecessary.

In subsection (e)(3), the words "chapter 137 of title 10" and

"that chapter" are substituted for "Armed Services Procurement Act

of 1947" and "said Act" in section 602(d)(3) of the Federal

Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, because of

section 49(b) of the Act of August 10, 1956 (ch. 1041, 70A Stat.

640).

In subsection (e)(4), the words "Secretary of Defense" are

substituted for "National Military Establishment" in section

602(d)(4) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act

of 1949, because of section 12(a), (g) of the National Security Act

Amendments of 1949 (ch. 412, 63 Stat. 591) and because of

10:113(a).

In subsection (e)(5), the words "section 2535 of title 10" are

substituted for "the National Industrial Reserve Act of 1948 [50

U.S.C. 451 et seq.]" because the National Industrial Reserve Act

was renamed "Defense Industrial Reserve Act" by section 809 of the

Department of Defense Appropriation Authorization Act, 1974 (Public

Law 93-155, 87 Stat. 617), and transferred to section 2535 of title

10 by section 4235 of the Defense Conversion, Reinvestment and

Transition Assistance Act of 1992, which was included as Division D

in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993

(Public Law 102-484, title XLII, 106 Stat. 2690).

In subsection (e)(6), the words "the Munitions Board" are omitted

because sections 1 and 2 of Reorganization Plan No. 6 of 1953 (eff.

June 30, 1953, 67 Stat. 638) abolished the Munitions Board and

transferred the Board's functions to the Secretary of Defense.

Agriculture" are omitted as unnecessary because of section 1 of

Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1953 (eff. June 30, 1953, 67 Stat.

638). The words "the Act of August 31, 1947, Public Law 298,

Eightieth Congress, with respect to the disposal of labor supply

centers, and labor homes, labor camps, or facilities" are omitted

because the intended reference is probably to the Act of July 31,

1947 (ch. 413, 61 Stat. 694), which was repealed by section 205(a)

of the Housing Act of 1950 (ch. 94, 64 Stat. 73).

In subsection (e)(9), the words "an official or entity under the

Farm Credit Act of 1971 (12 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.)" are substituted

for "the Secretary of Agriculture, Farm Credit Administration, or

any farm credit board under section 640l(b) of title 12" because

section 5.40(a), formerly 5.26(a), of the Farm Credit Act of 1971

(12:2001 note), repealed 12:640l, and provided that "[a]ll

references in other legislation . . . to the Acts repealed hereby

shall be deemed to refer to comparable provisions of [the Farm

Credit Act of 1971 (12 U.S.C. 2001 et seq.)]".

In subsection (e)(10), the words "Secretary of Housing and Urban

Development" are substituted for "Department of Housing and Urban

Development" because of 42:3532. The words "Federal Deposit

Insurance Corporation" are substituted for "Resolution Trust

Corporation" because under 12:1441a(m)(1), the Resolution Trust

Corporation terminated on December 31, 1995, and was succeeded by

the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

In subsection (e)(11), the words "property acquired in connection

with" are substituted for "any property acquired or to be acquired

for or in connection with" to eliminate unnecessary words.

In subsection (e)(12), the words "the Secretary of Energy with

respect to atomic energy" are substituted for "the Atomic Energy

Commission" because the Atomic Energy Commission was abolished and

its functions were transferred to the Administrator of the Energy

Research and Development Administration by section 104 of the

Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 (42:5814), and the Energy

Research and Development Administration was subsequently terminated

and its functions transferred to the Secretary of Energy by

sections 301(a) and 703 of the Department of Energy Organization

Act (42:7151(a), 42:7293).

In subsection (e)(13), the words "Secretary of Transportation"

are substituted for "Administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency"

in section 602(d)(14) of the Federal Property and Administrative

Services Act of 1949 because of sections 3(e) and 6(c)(1) of the

Department of Transportation Act (Public Law 89-670, 80 Stat. 932,

938), because of 49:106(f) and (g), and because of 49:ch. 473. The

words "Secretary of Commerce" are substituted for "Chief of the

Weather Bureau" in section 602(d)(14) of the Federal Property and

Administrative Services Act of 1949 because the office of Chief of

the Weather Bureau was abolished and functions were transferred to

the Secretary of Commerce by Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1965

(eff. July 13, 1965, 79 Stat. 1318). The words "section 47301 of

title 49" are substituted for "the International Aviation

Facilities Act (62 Stat. 450)" in section 602(d)(14) of the Federal

Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 because of section

6(b) of the Act of July 5, 1994 (Public Law 103-272, 108 Stat.

1378).

In subsection (e)(17), the words "title 44 or any other law" are

substituted for "the Act entitled 'An Act providing for the public

printing and binding and the distribution of public documents'

approved January 12, 1895 (28 Stat. 601), as amended or any other

Act" in section 602(d)(18) of the Federal Property and

Administrative Services Act of 1949 because of section 2(b) of the

Act of October 22, 1968 (Public Law 90-620, 82 Stat. 1305), the

first section of which enacted Title 44, United States Code.

In subsection (e)(19), the words "Secretary of State" are

substituted for "Director of the International Communication

Agency" [subsequently changed to "Director of the United States

Information Agency" because of section 303(b) of the Department of

State Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1982 and 1983 (Public Law

97-241, 96 Stat. 291)] because of 22:6551.

enacted Title 5, United States Code.

committee established by the Congress, its duration is otherwise

provided by law. See section 14 of Pub. L. 92-463, Oct. 6, 1972, 86

EX. ORD. NO. 12512. FEDERAL REAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Ex. Ord. No. 12512, Apr. 29, 1985, 50 F.R. 18453, provided:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution

and laws of the United States of America, including section 486(a)

of title 40 of the United States Code [now 40 U.S.C. 121(a)], and

in order to ensure that Federal real property resources are treated

in accordance with their value as national assets and in the best

interests of the Nation's taxpayers, it is hereby ordered as

follows:

Section 1. General Requirements. To ensure the effective and

economical use of America's real property and public land assets,

establish a focal point for the enunciation of clear and consistent

Federal policies regarding the acquisition, management, and

disposal of properties, and assure management accountability for

implementing Federal real property management reforms, all

Executive departments and agencies shall take immediate action to

recognize the importance of such resources through increased

management attention, establishment of clear goals and objectives,

improved policies and levels of accountability, and other

appropriate actions. Specifically:

(a) The Domestic Policy Council shall serve as the forum for

approving government-wide real property management policies;

(b) All Executive departments and agencies shall establish

internal policies and systems of accountability that ensure

effective use of real property in support of mission-related

activities, consistent with Federal policies regarding the

acquisition, management, and disposal of such assets. All such

agencies shall periodically review their real property holdings and

conduct surveys of such property in accordance with standards and

procedures determined by the Administrator of General Services. All

such agencies shall also develop annual real property management

improvement plans that include clear and concise goals and

objectives related to all aspects of real property management, and

identify sales, work space management, productivity, and excess

property targets;

(c) The Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall

review, through the management and budget review processes, the

efforts of departments and agencies toward achieving the

government-wide property management policies established pursuant

to this Order. Savings achieved as a result of improved management

shall be applied to reduce Federal spending and to support program

delivery;

(d) The Office of Management and Budget and the General Services

Administration shall, in consultation with the land managing

agencies, develop legislative initiatives that seek to improve

Federal real property management through the adoption of

appropriate private sector management techniques; the elimination

of duplication of effort among agencies; and the establishment of

managerial accountability for implementing effective and efficient

real property management practices; and

(e) The President's Council on Management Improvement, subject to

the policy direction of the Domestic Policy Council, shall conduct

such additional studies as are necessary to improve Federal real

property management by appropriate agencies and groups.

Sec. 2. Real Property. The Administrator of General Services

shall, to the extent permitted by law, provide government-wide

policy oversight and guidance for Federal real property management;

manage selected properties for agencies; conduct surveys; delegate

operational responsibility to agencies where feasible and

economical; and provide leadership in the development and

maintenance of needed property management information systems.

Sec. 3. Public Lands. In order to ensure that Federally owned

lands, other than the real property covered by Section 2 of this

Order, are managed in the most effective and economic manner, the

Departments of Agriculture and the Interior shall take such steps

as are appropriate to improve their management of public lands and

National Forest System lands and shall develop appropriate

legislative proposals necessary to facilitate that result.

Sec. 4. Executive Order No. 12348 of February 25, 1982, is hereby

revoked.

Ronald Reagan.

EX. ORD. NO. 12954. ENSURING THE ECONOMICAL AND EFFICIENT

ADMINISTRATION AND COMPLETION OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

Ex. Ord. No. 12954, Mar. 8, 1995, 60 F.R. 13023, provided:

Efficient economic performance and productivity are directly

related to the existence of cooperative working relationships

between employers and employees. When Federal contractors become

involved in prolonged labor disputes with their employees, the

Federal Government's economy, efficiency, and cost of operations

are adversely affected. In order to operate as effectively as

possible, by receiving timely goods and quality services, the

Federal Government must assist the entities with which it has

contractual relations to develop stable relationships with their

employees.

An important aspect of a stable collective bargaining

relationship is the balance between allowing businesses to operate

during a strike and preserving worker rights. This balance is

disrupted when permanent replacement employees are hired. It has

been found that strikes involving permanent replacement workers are

longer in duration than other strikes. In addition, the use of

permanent replacements can change a limited dispute into a broader,

more contentious struggle, thereby exacerbating the problems that

initially led to the strike. By permanently replacing its workers,

an employer loses the accumulated knowledge, experience, skill, and

expertise of its incumbent employees. These circumstances then

adversely affect the businesses and entities, such as the Federal

Government, which rely on that employer to provide high quality and

reliable goods or services.

NOW, THEREFORE, to ensure the economical and efficient

administration and completion of Federal Government contracts, and

by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and

the laws of the United States of America, including 40 U.S.C.

486(a) [now 40 U.S.C. 121(a)] and 3 U.S.C. 301, it is hereby

ordered as follows:

Section 1. It is the policy of the executive branch in procuring

goods and services that, to ensure the economical and efficient

administration and completion of Federal Government contracts,

contracting agencies shall not contract with employers that

permanently replace lawfully striking employees. All discretion

under this Executive order shall be exercised consistent with this

policy.

Sec. 2. (a) The Secretary of Labor ("Secretary") may investigate

an organizational unit of a Federal contractor to determine whether

the unit has permanently replaced lawfully striking workers. Such

investigation shall be conducted in accordance with procedures

established by the Secretary.

(b) The Secretary shall receive and may investigate complaints by

employees of any entity covered under section 2(a) of this order

where such complaints allege lawfully striking employees have been

permanently replaced.

(c) The Secretary may hold such hearings, public or private, as

he or she deems advisable, to determine whether an entity covered

under section 2(a) has permanently replaced lawfully striking

employees.

Sec. 3. (a) When the Secretary determines that a contractor has

permanently replaced lawfully striking employees, the Secretary may

make a finding that it is appropriate to terminate the contract for

convenience. The Secretary shall transmit that finding to the head

of any department or agency that contracts with the contractor.

(b) The head of the contracting department or agency may object

to the termination for convenience of a contract or contracts of a

contractor determined to have permanently replaced legally striking

employees. If the head of the agency so objects, he or she shall

set forth the reasons for not terminating the contract or contracts

in a response in writing to the Secretary. In such case, the

termination for convenience shall not be issued. The head of the

contracting agency or department shall report to the Secretary

those contracts that have been terminated for convenience under

this section.

Sec. 4. (a) When the Secretary determines that a contractor has

permanently replaced lawfully striking employees, the Secretary may

debar the contractor, thereby making the contractor ineligible to

receive government contracts. The Secretary shall notify the

Administrator of the General Services Administration of the

debarment, and the Administrator shall include the contractor on

the consolidated list of debarred contractors. Departments and

agencies shall not solicit offers from, award contracts to, or

consent to subcontracts with these contractors unless the head of

the agency or his or her designee determines, in writing, that

there is a compelling reason for such action, in accordance with

the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

(b) The scope of the debarment normally will be limited to those

organizational units of a Federal contractor that the Secretary

finds to have permanently replaced lawfully striking workers.

(c) The period of the debarment may not extend beyond the date

when the labor dispute precipitating the permanent replacement of

lawfully striking workers has been resolved, as determined by the

Secretary.

Sec. 5. The Secretary shall publish or cause to be published, in

the Federal Register, the names of contractors that have, in the

judgement of the Secretary, permanently replaced lawfully striking

employees and have been the subject of debarment.

Sec. 6. The Secretary shall be responsible for the administration

and enforcement of this order. The Secretary, after consultation

with the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of the General

Services, the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space

Administration, and the Administrator of the Office of Federal

Procurement Policy, may adopt such rules and regulations and issue

such orders as may be deemed necessary and appropriate to achieve

the purposes of this order.

Sec. 7. Each contracting department and agency shall cooperate

with the Secretary and provide such information and assistance as

the Secretary may require in the performance of the Secretary's

functions under this order.

Sec. 8. The Secretary may delegate any function or duty of the

Secretary under this order to any officer in the Department of

Labor or to any other officer in the executive branch of the

Government, with the consent of the head of the department or

agency in which that officer serves.

Sec. 9. The Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of the

General Services, and the Administrator of the National Aeronautics

and Space Administration, after consultation with the Administrator

of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, shall take whatever

action is appropriate to implement the provisions of this order and

of any related rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary

issued pursuant to this order.

Sec. 10. This order is not intended, and should not be construed,

to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,

enforceable at law by a party against the United States, its

agencies, its officers, or its employees. This order is not

intended, however, to preclude judicial review of final agency

decisions in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act, 5

U.S.C. 701 et seq.

Sec. 11. The meaning of the term "organizational unit of a

Federal contractor" as used in this order shall be defined in

regulations that shall be issued by the Secretary of Labor, in

consultation with affected agencies. This order shall apply only to

contracts in excess of the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

Sec. 12. (a) The provisions of section 3 of this order shall only

apply to situations in which contractors have permanently replaced

lawfully striking employees after the effective date of this order.

(b) This order is effective immediately.

William J. Clinton.
