Two senator call for progress reports on the government's efforts to get rid of unneeded or underused property. Tom Carper of Delaware and Rob Portman of Ohio have sent a letter to multiple agencies requesting status updates. They want agencies to describe their property and management efforts over the last five years. They also want information on strategies agencies are using to reduce property costs. The requests are part of the government's ongoing property reform efforts. Federal asset management falls under the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, which Carper chairs and Portman is a member.
