it isn't just federal space. recently found federal agencies spent $15 million on furniture over the last few years. apparently, furnished space left empty under telewor k . can you explain why the purchase of office furniture continued unabated. >> the government did not close down. agencies were continuing to work, courthouses continued to operate. prisons continued operating. lots of businesses were in offices. i personally visited des moines throughout the pandemic. they were constructing a courthouse. pennsylvania, san antonio texas. >> let me ask about expired, but let me conclude with this, agencies that truly required new furniture could give their furniture to other agencies or sell it off to private parties. that would take some of the burden off taxpayers. i cannot imagine a big business spending on furnishing that no one working out of. we can't stand behind. i hope gsa hearing that message loud and clear. i know yield to ranking member. >> thank you. gsa is responsible for the efficient and effective

esadi agree that the federation? if he comes and puts a ceiling in order to be able to manage the income and expenses of the clubs , it may be acceptable as a housing, but during the management time, when this happens again, this housing will not work. because we have a state of resistance, like medicine, we have a state of resistance. he finds that in relation to this story and this disease, it turns from an acute state to a chronic state, and the difference is that in a chronic state , there is time to fix it, provided that there is also the will, now i don't give this will much , but in this part if my federation wants to come , do it in a partial way and not to the main form should be the main resources that exist in the country and the main abilities that exist in the country and these rules exist in all countries, but in our country we cannot use these, that is, we in football are an industry of this football industry in the world. from the beginning, we do not want to go to the wheel and invent that we should

empty our federal office buildings are, i assume gsa is working to downsize the federal government's office- based footprint to realize these cost savings. so, what is the hold up? >> so, i am glad you asked that question. this is a topic of great interest and i think we are fully aligned on what needs to happen. we need to optimize, which means shrink and optimize whenever we can. we want to make sure that our buildings are useful for the communities where they said but also save money for taxpayers. >> are the federal agencies reluctant to give up office space? >> congressman, i would love to talk a little bit more about what we are doing if you would give me a minute to begin the disposal process. last week, we announce 23 properties and facilities across the country that we intend to begin the disposal process on. and that will be 3.5 million square feet of reduction. get this, it is a billion dollars in avoidance and maintenance cost -- this is just the beginning. >> is president biden on board with this? is he pushing agencies to actually surrender space they are not using? >>

this method is one of the capabilities of a federation to regulate that work, that is, the other federations of other countries also do this, so if their conditions are like this, if their conditions are really like this, they will not go to this, but it is temporary , it means you once, twice, three times. can you do this work on the condition that you set indicators so that those who are members of the federation are not allowed to commit violations. for example, a club comes and says how much is the limit of the contract . my fine is less than that. i will break the limit. it is not that he will be able to assemble the system, that is, he will not be able to reach the point where he can observe the balance of justice that exists in the discussion of football. his tools are very limited, but the bigger and more important thing that can be done is to consult with the government parliament and those who can help the structure of football in this area. sponsorship is the issue of economic resources that can arise in football. it is a communication issue that we can pay attention to through fo

let's return to the broadcast of the federation council, asked by the president of the russian federationladimir vladimirovich putin. today, opening the spring session, i would like to outline the key areas on which the activities of the federation council will be focused in the coming period. of course, the most important, anticipated political event will be the russian presidential elections, which will take place in less than a year. on behalf of the federation council, we have already sent a large number of invitations are sure that they will find a response. of course, russia is not accustomed to pressure from outside. we now understand well who is who on the world stage. that is why in recent years our country has been making a large-scale turn towards the sovereignty of its legal system. we deliberately refuse. in russia, it is a family with children, strong, friendly, happy, that is our main national asset, the basis for the prosperity of russia, today thematically. families, and this is not only payment benefits, but also support measures in the field of labor relations, and earl

of the federal government and an effort to make telework the norm in the federal agencies. gsa's ground zero regarding office space and how much uses. in washington d.c. where most headquarters are located under 1 million square feet of office space they occupy according to government accountability buildings operating at 5% or less. the average of nine the capacity and the biden administration doesn't want to know or understand whether employees are coming in, we asked the director they were going to the office. simple question -- did know. we have asked each of them directly. the building occupancy data speaks volumes. microfracture the activity on his and used the nation hundreds of millions of initially solo of the for more terminating on the office space leases from our billing dollars. federal space is an issue prior to the pandemic property management has been a high-risk list but it's one that is simply too big and too costly to ignore. the bottom line is this, the button image can have both ways at taxpayers expense. you bring employees back to work to improve prod

last july, the federation council approved a federal law that provided bona fide fishermen the righto conclude a new agreement for the use of a fishing area for 20 years without holding a tender. an innovation was the obligation of fishermen to enter into agreements with the region to participate. in socio-economic development, especially of rural areas. regions and senators made a proposal that when the agreement is re-signed for a new term, fishermen will contribute 25% of the amount one-time to the federal budget, and the remaining 75% will be contributed to the development of mainly rural areas in the next 20 years. meanwhile, agriculture contributed coordination of by-laws that do not take into account the proposals of regions and fishermen. “menserkhoz proposes that upon concluding an agreement, the fisherman will pay the state three or four annual profits, and then the same amount will be paid to the regional budget. such an order will simply destroy the vast majority of fishing enterprises. therefore, i would like to appeal to the authorized representative of the government i

, in the airspace of the russian federation. what was in that plane, well, i'm sorry, that's a matter... not ours, it's the matter of the russian federation, if we, listen, were paying attention for every such accident, well, excuse me, we would only deal with these, and what exactly the russian federation wants, and here the emphasis should be on the fact that we, as a state, which is in a state, well, one cannot say , of war, of an armed conflict with russian federation, we have nothing to do with it. moreover, it should be emphasized that in any case, under the circumstances, the country has the right to destroy any aircraft of the aggressor country that is in the access zone. of our air defense forces, and conduct, you know, very aggressive, i repeat, very aggressive an aggressive informational and psychological company in particular, where to turn to common sense, because there are certain specialists who understand how it is conducted, if we assume, and excuse me, such data cannot be given for more than a day, that is , we

who are members of the federation are not allowed to violate . this as a management art in the field of management they know it's not appropriate at all, so what should the federation do? they say that 's all my tools are, that's all. it means that it should not reach the point where it can maintain the balance of justice that exists in the discussion of football, its tools are very limited, but the bigger and more important thing that can be done is to consult with the parliament and those who can help in the structure of football. what is the issue of attendance, the issue of ticket sales, the issue of sponsorship, the issue of economic resources that can come in football, the issue of communication. i think the supervision of the football federation and the clubs it was approved in the orders of mr. dr. esadi , mostly the so-called feedbacks and guarantees of his performances and his exact implementation. in my opinion, they point out that we must also agree on the same issue , you see, that means you agree that it is our phase, yes, pointing

through the bureau of printing and engraving and the federal mints the federal government makes all the coins and all the currency which all of us use in our everyday business. of course congress can't just print new money every time it has to pay the expenses of the government. so the constitution gives congress the power to raise what it needs by levying and collecting taxes duties imposts and excises. you must have heard your father speak about the income tax. these exercises and duties are taxes levied on such things as movie admissions. gasoline luxuries such as jewelry furs silverware and other things another way congress raises money to run the government is from taxes on goods imported from other countries. these are called tariffs. congress also regulates commerce among the states goods moving across state boundaries are not taxed but such commerce is regulated by congress through the interstate commerce commission. congress and only congress has the power to declare war even though the president may call for a declaration of war. and when the united states is involved in inter

the most important, most painful fact for us was that the march recommendations to international federations, in fact, the entire elite of russian sports were excluded from holding, from participating in international sports competitions, of course. this is our elite, i spoke about this, i always say this, these are the athletes of the central sports club of the army, dynamo athletes, russian national guard athletes, plus our wonderful teams, we need to talk about this clearly, these are the silver medalists of the beijing games, our hockey players, and this is our handball team, the women's handball team, these are our magnificent volleyball players, this is synchronized swimming, group exercises in... rhythmic gymnastics, that is, those sports in which we consistently perform successfully, were taken out, so it immediately became clear from these recommendations that the main main task international olympic committee - not to allow our athletes, and the conditions that they created are a kind of illusion and a farce, i couldn’t call it anything else, the international olympic committee is

on long-standing federal policies. it's true thatome equity frequently represents a large portion of many americans wealth but it does not follow the federal licy should promote homeowrship or especially housing. in fact home equity pitch and this depends onrice apprection and at odds with affordable housing. federal policies make housing as well asther goods and services less affordable. particularly because they artificially boost demand and inhently supply cotrained markets. over pxima in the last decade growth ratwas nearly double the income growth rate. as much othe last several decas but it's like to highlight three particular problems with recent federal policies. first there only three institutions fannie mae freddie mac and fha the level of fedel involvement housing has been baffling for decades along with housing costs. coined just fannie and freddie stood behind more than halff outstanding mortgage debt for decades. someears being responsible for share of closeo 70% of the market. from 2090 2020 fnie and fre

by the federal government. i was pleased to hear about 2030 initiative preparing for future of federal working gsa groundbreaking plan sense of the climate crisis transitioning to fully electric federal week pivoting to climate construction materials. i'm also exotic districts women and minority owned witnesses president biden whole of government approach based in equity. the equity initiative supporting majority minority communities across the country including ohio's 11th congressional district. in 2022 release it equity action plan. i understand he is established a physician for equity which i applaud you so what additionally sensory the totality of its work. >> as he said, equity is important because it is reflective of the american people. look for government that reflects our people and make the government better. one thing we have focused on recently his equipment is focused on hbc you also prime source of power can bring into the government. also very focus is small from affluent owned, we are proud the

these same changes are also affecting the federal government. as i'm sure you're aware, the accountability office demonstrated that 7 federal agencies headquarters are less than 25% occupied. how much does gsa spend annually to operate office space for federal agencies. >> thanks for that question. we have a federal buildings fund that's where agencies that have space in buildings or have leased space, pay rent effectively. and so, that amount every year is around more or less $11 billion. >> 11 billion? >> that's just rental payments. that's different than your question which was about how much we spend. >> to maintain. >> right. so what happens is that federal buildings fund actually is shorted every year. in what we're allowed to spend. so typically, what will happen about half of our portfolio is leased. and half is owned and so for the leased portion, that rent just immediately goes out the door and pays the owner of the building right. and whatever the community the building is in. the other half is meant to go back into maintenance of the

we are at war against the russian federation, but we are not...

i would like to note that in addition to specialized federal projects and programs, the pound purchases music. tools, equipment, equipment for cultural centers, including in rural areas, for children's creative schools, donbass and novorussia. i would like to note right away that business actively participated; it was they who supported such initiatives and provided financial support to the fund in the amount of 2.5 billion rubles. most importantly, citizens are sincerely grateful for such projects, and i would like to repeat that they are in demand, people need them, and... of all generations, families, youth of donbass and novorussia, they serve to preserve and develop the culture of these regions, so i ask you to be sure to continue programs through the cultural initiatives fund, in this regard there is another topic, now there is active integration of donbass and new russia into a single legal space of the country, management systems are being built at the level of federal subjects and locally, this applies to institutions. allow staff cuts, rates, salaries, rural cultural sports in

general, today the russian federation is actively, torpedoing, information torpedoing the downing of the il-76 plane in belgorod. sources in ukrainian intelligence report that he was transporting missiles for an anti-aircraft missile system of the s-300 complex. the russians are talking about the fact that there were supposedly dozens of ukrainian prisoners of war on the plane, who were being taken to bilharad for an exchange in gur. the ministry of defense of ukraine confirmed that a prisoner exchange between russia and ukraine was supposed to take place today, but it is not happening at the moment. , since the plane crash in the belgorod region, a lot of time has passed, according to the way these events are developing and how russia... is commenting on all this, trying to shift all the blame for what happened in the skies of the belgorod region, and hinting that, that we killed our own prisoners of war who flew. from russia, is there a technical possibility to find out whether ukrainian prisoners of war were still on board this plane or not? at the moment, there are no technical p

there are no updates , the only thing is, uh, i always emphasize that look, the russian federation uses every opportunity to discredit ukraine and to discredit the military aid that we receive from our international partners, the same is the case here, you know how just then it happened and they started to receive... information, how the russian federation disseminates information, what actually happened, that there was a downing of a plane, right there by missiles that were provided by our international partners, i immediately had this feeling that they had the same thing when they committed a terrorist act, the volenivites, actually killing our prisoners of war, a violation of international humanitarian law, the same thing here. information campaign against our state, so it is safe to say that as of now we have some confirmed materials, some evidence, there is no for one simple reason, that in addition to the analysis of photos and videos that we have in use, which are again thrown at the russian by the federation, there are no other mechanisms for confirming or refuting information,

the bill established a process to reduce the federal government inventory of federal civilian property. the 2023 report they stated the gsa phase numerous setbacks during the first two rounds, resulting with a two-year delay to sell any properties approved for disposal during the first round. it's also troubling that the annual report, gsa has not developed a process that fully leverages lessons learned from the limitation of the federal sale and transfer act. that is the big intro. administrator carnahan, it took over two years for the gsa to dispose 10 of the 12 properties identified in the first round. what were the proceeds in this first round two compared estimates? >> i need to circle back on that. i can talk generally about phosphor and the work we do together. i do not have the specific info to me. the idea that we could save money by disposing real estate, i could not agree more. we are in a unique moment where we can get out of leased space that is very expensive and we can cut that dramatically. 35% are leases government wide, they are up for renewal the next five years. tha

also oversees federal spectrum users coordinating with the federal communication to make sure our airways are effectively managed and advising the president on advanced technology such as artificial intelligence. i'm actually disappointed congress still has not reauthorized fcc spectrum authority after expiration of march. as chair rogers and i the senate floor said for months is critical this happen as soon as possible. i am concerned the labs will hinder us on the international stage but especially with the world radiocommunication conference has also taken place right now in dubai. additionally of federal spectrum and it must continue to move forward in exploring opportunities to make additional federal spectrum available for commercial wireless use. unfortunately the previous trump administration failed in its approach to management which led to unnecessary and harmful spectrum disputes. also at the current administration without any's studies on the horizon. those studies, if they have done responsibly take time but they do minimize among the parties involved that is why please prese

, coordinating all of that with federal and state entities. so how has federal, state, and local coordination improved over the past few years? >> i have to say, coordination is in credibly important. if we are good stewards of taxpayer money we need to be sure that all of the agencies are working in this. i will say that coordination has radically improved from where we were several years ago , since i started in this role. we have mou's between a number of agencies doing this work. we are sharing data. we have the core things that we use. we have interagency coordination starting at the white house with all of the leaders meeting very regularly, sometimes to regularly it seems to be sure whether we are well coordinated. >> it sounds like you are working in an effective way. with that, -- >> thank you very much. time has expired. the chair will now recognize the gentleman from arizona's eighth district. >> thank you. i want to raise some concerns in a provision of the notice of funding opportunity related to the labor and employment provision

you get federal regulations out of the way. and politicians originally put a football analogy i had a talk show host who was lecturing nick sabin over what he needed to do to improve his team. i thought that is how politicians are. we don't know what we don't know. get politicians out of the way this is gotta be settled on a local level if you want to increase demand or increase housing, make it so the eviction notices can go out you have to get paid back. somebody pays for this. the other thing we talk about homelessness. hawhat about the 8 million comig across this border, where are ty going to go? what are they going to do with it? so get the government out. stop this flow of people in this country that have not paid into the system. and get the regulators out of the way. go cheer experts the person coming into nick a statement is not the best one to tell him what to do. he is in it. oh to the experts that do it and have their money invested. let me ask you, you mentioned make housing affordable. two things define what affor

the scene changes are also affecting the federal government. as i am sure you are aware, the government accountability office noted that 17 of 24 major federal agencies headquartered in the dc are less than 25% occupied. how much does gsa spend annually to maintain and operate office space for federal agencies? >> thanks for that question congresswoman, we talked about this a little bit in the first session of-- we have a federal buildings fund, where agencies that have space and buildings who have leased space pay rent effectively. >> right. >> and so, that amount every year is around more or less $11 billion. >> 11 billion? >> and that is just rental payments. >> rental. >> that is different from your question, which is how much we spent-- >> to maintain. >> right. so, what happens is that federal buildings fund actually is shorted every year in what we are allowed to spend. so, typically what will happen, about half of our portfolio is released and half of it is owned. so, for the least portion, that rent immediately goes out the door and pa

ntia also oversees federal spectrum users coordinating with the federal communications commission to ensure that our airwaves are effectively managed and advising the president on advanced technology such as artificial intelligence. and i'm extremely disappointed that congress has still not reauthorized the fcc spectrum option authority after its expiration in march. as chair rogers and i have said for months, it's critical that this happen as soon as possible, and i'm concerned that this lapse will hinder us on the international stage, especially with the world radio communications conference also taking place right now in dubai. additionally, congress designated ntia as the manager of federal spectrum and it must continue to move forward in exploring opportunities to make additional federal spectrum available for commercial wireless use. unfortunately the previous trump administration failed in its approach to spectrum management, which led to unnecessary and harmful spectrum disputes and it also left the current administration without any spectrum studies on the horizon, and those

, in the airspace of the russian federation., it's not our business anymore, it's the business... of the russian federation, if we, listen, paid attention to every such accident, well, i'm sorry, we would only deal with that, and what exactly does the russian federation want federation, and here the emphasis must be placed on the fact that we, as a state that is in a state of, well, one cannot say war, armed conflict with the russian federation, have nothing to do with this, and even more, it must be emphasized that in any... . in case of objective circumstances, the country has the right to destroy any aircraft of the country of the aggressor, which is in the access zone of our air defense forces, and to conduct, you know, such a very aggressive, i repeat, very aggressive precisely informational and psychological campaign, where, well, actually turn to common sense, because there are certain specialists who understand how it is carried out, if we assume, and excuse me... for more than a day , such data cannot be given, that is,

trump to terminate this agreement on conventional armed forces in europe the russian federation violatedame out of the others, well, in fact, it remained the treaty on strategic offensive weapons , and they show that they do not want to continue this treaty until the west makes concessions and gives russia what it wants, it is clear that it wants , it wants a sphere of influence, and of course these spheres of influence... should include not only ukraine, the americans do not agree to this, although, of course, they would like a certain stability in relations between nuclear powers, because the russian federation and the united states owns 80% of the world's nuclear potential, but on the other hand, you know, now china's nuclear potential is growing, and there are already more than 300 warheads, they are building up their missile potential, and for five years they are gathering. to bring them up to almost a thousand, so it makes no sense for the united states to somehow tie its hands with the russian federation, let's say without taking into account, without including china in this proce

and it was home the federal government come -- it was only the federal government coming in, the e.p.an it, under the biden administration, that came in and got a handle on this and insisted that the health needs of these individuals, the cleanup needs of these individuals was going to be taken care of. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady has 60 seconds. ms. jackson lee: i thank the gentleman from new york. , the ranking member. this is not that s word. i don't even want to say it. because it means that it's something wrong. this is a good settlement opportunity that will help the public in fighting against bad actors. and it will work on improving the criminalm, bankruptcies, environmental, civil rights laws, fair housing act, service members' civil relief act. this is a pathway to disaster. that's what h.r. 788 is. don't be fooled to the american public. what we want to do is help you and eliminate the 788 that is going to take away the tools to be able to help you. yes, i started out by saying we want to save lives and that's what we want to continue to do in these dastardly con

did it stop the russian federation from being a permanent member of the security council, a body that is supposed to maintain world peace? no , just like any statements that are heard today, they were heard from the mouths of representatives of the security council, both permanent and non-permanent members, when the russian federation, taking advantage of its certain priorities and advantages, convened an extraordinary session. due to the situation in belgorod oblast, they are also now coming from the mouth of the representative of the office of the commissioner for rights man, the organization of the united nations , that is, nothing new, in fact the organization of the united nations cannot say: well , let's throw your missiles, kill people on both sides and see how many people are left, then obviously they are calling for peace, because the organization was created in order to maintain security, but some statements, some appeals, some search for a peaceful solution. today there are simply not enough of them, because there is a feeling that they are simply detached from reality, the

compliance with federal law.be on that, different states are going to take different approaches we know that we tried to give states a fair amount of flexibility in the way they implement we are not strong-arming or pressuring them in anyways on those issues but compliance with federal labor law is actually a requirement to quickly follow up on the question that if estate includes only what is required by law will ntia approve the states plan or will you reject a plan that does not include any of the organized labor provisions included in your notice of funding opportunity? >> we always have to look at the totality of the plan for the short answer should be yes but i want to notice there are some ne requirements when states reject certain kinds of a provisions that they provide an explanation of why they have done them. that would be potentially a piece of this but i would have to look at the details to note that is in fact true in this case i do not want to give you a blanket blanket answer but the intent is to

everything that happens both in ukraine during the shelling and on the territory of the russian federation? well, actually, first of all, you need to pull yourself together, calm down, and... calmly understand the situation , the situation is very simple: the plane, which was allegedly transporting our prisoners, did not fly to belgrade, but flew from belgrad, this time, and secondly, this plane, literally yesterday, was still in very far southern regions, in particular in to the syrian, in syria, from syria he flew through... there, well, in a detour there through egypt, there through other countries , bypassing those countries where russian military aircraft cannot fly and brought something to the same belgrade, what he brought is unclear, if he brought from our syria and egypt prisoners of war, here is the question , what was he doing there then, what were our conscripts doing, the second question, which was asked by one of our former... prisoners of war, what are the three accompanying persons, if they are, well then , that russia transports prisoners of war by airplanes is an indisput
