FTC Being Evicted
Federal Trade Commission members objected to a plan to force the agency out of its historic building. The four members, two from each party, wrote to John Mica, chairman of the House committee on transportation and infrastructure, calling the plan a $100 million giveaway.

The structure at 600 Pennsylvania Ave. was built during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration specifically for the FTC.
