OCLC Number: 71259275 Excerpt: ... 4 you are here, and Mr. Chairman, I thank you for inviting him to come by and to give us a little bit of a primer on how GSA does what it does.

We look forward to hearing from you, Mr. Perry, today about what might be behind these trends, if they are correctly character-ized, and also what we are going to be doing going forward.
