Highlights

The Air Force requested a decision concerning its authority to: (1) use appropriated funds to lease facilities or renovate existing government-owned properties to provide day care centers for the children of civilian employees; and (2) include expenditures for facility improvement in the current appropriation for day care support costs. GAO held that the Air Force was: (1) authorized to use appropriated funds to allot space in government-owned or -leased space to provide free day care centers for children of civilian employees; (2) precluded from using appropriated funds to enter new leases for child care facilities; (3) authorized to expand existing space in military child care centers in government buildings to accommodate civilian employees' children; and (4) required to deposit in the Treasury payments it received for its capital improvement expenditures in providing space for civilian child care centers. Accordingly, the Air Force may use appropriated funds to provide day care centers for its civilian employees.
