GSA Turns Over Transition Office To Obama Team

The General Services Administration, tasked with providing the president-elect and his transition team with office space, equipment and other logistical support, announced today that it is turning over its transition headquarters -- 120,000 square feet of fully furnished office space in downtown Washington -- to Barack Obama.

Acting Administrator James A. Williams declared the Democratic candidate the "apparent winner" of the election and wrote to Obama and vice president-elect Joe Biden that he and the GSA transition team were ready to support the handover effort. The agency has been working for over two years to manage the process.
