Congress has no control over it at all. and GSA has used these savings in a most arrogant. abusive. and unAmerican manner. Let me tell you one of the reasons why this language appears in this appropriation act. A man named Jerry Maiatico. an Italian immigrant. became an American citizen. served in World War I. and thereafter became a successful contractor here in Washington. D.C. He erected a building known as the Matomic Building at 1717 H Street NW. It is an 11story building with three basements. of reinforced concrete. steel. and masonry with a limestone exterior. and is fireproof. He built it as an estate for his children and grandchildren. It is a symbol of this Italian immigrants success. GSA inspected the building. liked it. and leased it for 5 years at $5 per square foot. That lease expired in 1960.
