On
February 4, 2004, President
George W. Bush signed
Executive Order (E.O.)
13327, Federal Real
Property Asset Management,
setting expectations
and requirements to
"promote the efficient
and economical use of
Federal real property
resources in accordance
with their value as
national assets and
in the best interests
of the Nation."
Later that year, the
President's Management
Agenda (PMA) was expanded
to include a new initiative
for improving federal
asset management.
Since the issuance of
E.O. 13327, USDA has
moved aggressively towards
compliance with the
initiative in several
