ACCOUNTING OFFICE
SITE IS PROPOSED
$500, 900 Structure Would
Be Built on Square North Of
Methodist Building.

At the request Of House leaders,
Chairman Elliott Of the House Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Public
Grounds today introduced bin pro-
vidine for acquisition of the entire block
between First and Second, . ana G
streets northeast, ct an estimated cost
Of 5000 900, as a site for . new building
for the General Accounting once.
This location IL directly north Of the
Methodist Building and east Of the pres
ent Senate once Building. It has lens
been contemplated that the Federal
Government would acquire this site.
The action taken today is in line
with the contention Of Controller Cen
eral McCarl that his once should not
be placed in any Of the departmental
groups in the Mall triangle because it
ability to Congress, as distinct from
the executive branch Of the Govern
ment.
Names Special Commission.
Acquisition Of this site and erection
thereon of the General Accounting Of
nce would bring this important agency
which is a complement OF the budget
system, into closer relationship with
Congress itself, to which 1t Is account
able, acting as check and watchdog
on the appropriations made by Con-
gress subsequent to Budget Bureau
studies.
The Elliott bill provides for 0 special
commission composed of the Vice Presi-
dent the Speaker Of the House, the
controller general, the architect Of the
Capitol and the chairman and ranking
minority members of the House and
Senate Committees on Public Buildings
and Grounds.
Chairman Elliott explained that there
are few sites In the city within the area
designated for Federal buildings which
would be appropriate for the General
Accounting Once.
Needs Deep Basement.
This agency desires q two-story base
rnent for the storage Of records. Il
would be impossible, Chairman Elliott
said, to provide such Q two-story base
Ynent IN the Mall triangle area because
when they dug down to that depth
water would seep In from the Potomac
River. The location on Capitol Hill q
particularly desirable on that account.
The General Accounting Once has
some 1900 employees.
