General Services Administration: Many Building Security Upgrades Made butProblems Have Hindered Program Implementation

摘要

I am pleased to be here today to discuss the General Services Administration's(GSA) progress in upgrading the security of federal buildings under its operation. You requested that we evaluate the GSA building security upgrade program. Specifically, you asked that we determine (1) what criteria GSA used to assess security risks and prioritizes security upgrades for its buildings, (2) the implementation and operational status of GSA's security upgrade program and the costs GSA has incurred by both funding source and type of security upgrade (such as x-ray machines and security guards), and (3) whether any problems have hindered GSA's implementation of the security upgrade program.
