**Notes:**
O  I want to thank the Society of Government Travel Professionals for the opportunity to speak today.

O  I’d like to give you a brief picture of our travel organization and the the type of topics that we cover in GSA’s Office of Governmentwide Policy.

O  Then I will cover the issue of Travel Management Systems (TMS) and what we expected when we changed the Federal Travel Regulation to require use of one.

O  I’ll touch on a couple of other topics briefly and then turn it over to Bill Rivers from my office to discuss the Premier Lodging Program.

**Notes:**
O  But what is the most important change that we have made in the FTR as it relates to travel agents?

O  The mandatory Use of Travel Management Systems.  This was effective as of January 1, 2001.  

O  A lot of questions have arisen about the requirement.  I’ll try to answer the basic ones during my presentation, as well as address some questions at the end of our session.  I will also be around for other sessions today as well Bill, Jim Harte, and others from our staff.
